M.I.B posted:I have used non fan assisted coolers in every "warmed up" air-cooled over 25 years. I live in the UK so it never really gets hot enough to demand a fan assisted cooler.
At one point I had a 23 Window, a road legal drag raced oval windowed bug and a Bay window crew cab. I had a "pool" of "big" motors to switch around all of them, so all connections and ancils had to be the same. Hence I didn't use sandwich plates and the oil cooling and filtering systems were a permanent part of the car not the engine. I used traditional "full flow" 5/8 NPT hose fittings on each engine case.
As the bay window and 57 window were lowered with modified axles, there was no space for coolers in the arch. I never suffered from heat issues with a cooler over the trans on any of the vehicles.
A MONSTER in the UK runs cooler than a 1600 in PHOENIX.....
