I installed 2 electric fans many years ago to combat a hot running engine. It turned out to be the radiator itself. I use them now occasionally in stop & go traffic (Los Angeles :-) and also to provide cooldown at engine shutdown. The fans are operated manually at present. One of these days I'll find a suitable temperature control so that I can automate the cool down. Running the fans for a bit and the vent openings help tremendously against heatsoak under the hood (floor).

Note K&N airfilter, which is part of the change when EFI was installed.

 

vent.jpg (14377 bytes)I had these vents installed many moons ago and judging by the heat that comes out of them I consider them a great benefit. Along with the electric fans they provide an excellent path to dissapate heatsoak at shutdown as well as allowing heat to escape while underway.

There is one installed on each side just ahead of the firewall.
