Wow, that is one STUFFED engine bay! Looks good.

I'm gonna assume you probably have a stock V6 radiator (?) What are you using for a fan?
Do you have headers or exh. manifolds??

If you don't have a cowl, I was wondering what you thought of the under hood temperatures?

He just registered over here today, but I'll throw some quick answers for him.

I don't know what rad, but I do think it is the V6.  It's in the factory position with pusher electric fans.  No cowl hood either.

2 "10 pusher fans that will be puller fans in my next overhaul. It's a stock 4.3 rad (cools great) that will be recessed into the core support. Like Harley said, no cowl so my under hood temps get up there (167* during a day of racing  :o) but I have yet to over heat the engine. Ceramic coated headers are a blessing and worth every penny!
