Stick with this group, we’ve all been there and have conquered the cooling beast – well, at least tamed it a bit.

That is the plan Ed.

I’m trying to figure out how much radiator I can fit into my configuration. I’m running the numbers and drafting it out in AutoCAD.

 

I’m hoping that I can cash in on the Meredith Effect in my design. I’m planning on an adjustable exhaust opening much like the P-51s had. I’m not sure if I need it or not but it’s easier to not use it vs. add it later.

 

Question: If I use a separate oil cooler, can I place it in front of the radiator?

I’ve seen some installations like this but it seems to me that there is a cost involved.
