    Well.............. I was thinking 'real' (cast iron) Chev.

    Once (embarrassingly) drove mine for 300 km with only about half the normal coolant with no damage done.

    And as for electronics........ does a coil and condenser count?

    cheers, DL

    Twin EL thermo's with a std 3.5 RRC radiator and all is good. Never had it over half on the gauge.

    Used to get hotter in the city before the thermo's.

    cheers, DL

    Mine is ok @ 42 - 44. @50 it would probably need a bigger radiator.

    I actually have the opposite prob at the moment. One fan runs with ign on, the other is wired through an adjustable thermo switch.

    In ambient temps of 2 deg or lower it won't get up to temp (just over 1/4 on the gauge, oil temp about 60) so the heater is not warm enough for comfort.

    I'll soon be fitting either a simple disconnect switch or another thermo switch for the first fan, as I don't want both fans to switch on at the same time.

    The whole set-up only cost about $250 new inc the shroud.

    cheers, DL
