Guest wwwynn Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
