Chevy V-8 cooling

I built a PAW "blower motor" kit in 1989. Low compression chevy 350, B&M 144 cu in blower, B&M superjection throttle body fuel injection. Chevy 350 auto trans. I installed it in my 1971 Datsun 240-Z. Initially there were cooling problems eventually solved with a 3 core cross flow radiator, a add on trans cooler, a add on oil cooler. It has run well since, until the last several months when it gains heat at highway speeds. I suspect I need a cooling system update after nearly 20 years.

 

Question: What to do.

 

A Howe or Ron Davis Al. radiator or some other?

An electric puller fan? which one?

Use a shroud and stock fan?

 

I would really like to do this once and do it right.

 

help, bill wynn

I searched using the search function just under "cooling" and received about 10 or so threads covering the issue. I'm sure that "fan," "Ron Davis," "Griffin," "radiator," and a number of other possibilities would yield even more results.

 

What cooling come down to is airflow. If you read within the forums and use the search function, you'll uncover a lot of info about the Z car's design and how to maximize the airflow through the radiator. Good luck with finding a solution!

 

BY the way, is your V8 swap set up JTR or Scarab?
