[Fot] Radiator

[Greg And Alison Blake]

Go to a cross flow design (tanks on each side of rad) and use an expansion tank in the system. I'd route water out of the heater port in the top back of the head to the expansion tank then from bottom of that tank to the heater return on the back of the water pump. I've done this on a endurance race TR 6 and ran great temps all weekend in the Texas heat. No fan required.

>  I just finished an awesome track day at Blackhawk with my gt6 and almost everything worked great. It was a nice day of about 78 degrees and low humidity but I couldn't keep the car from getting hot. Not sure exactly how hot but I can tell you that I have a dual oil pressure / water temp gauge and the water temp was all the way up to the 80 psi mark on the oil pressure gauge. Also boiled out of my overflow tank and made a fine mess. I know this has been a subject of debate with these cars in the past and I have actually lobbied in favor of the stock radiators but now I just can't think of any way to keep it.  Just to head off questions regarding cooling system condition. I believe everything is in fine shape. New coolant. 195 thermostat. Hoses are fine. Good fitting shroud with electric fan and a 1 liter overflow tank. Radiator cap  is 7 lbs. The radiator was cleaned and tested by a radiator shop and the guy told me it was in excellent condition.  So I guess I'm looking for an aluminum replacement radiator .I think I want a shorter. wider radiator. Any suggestions?
