This wasn't needed in '66 when they ran SO's for 24 hours at LeMans-and during the whole race history of small block and FE development and success. There is just no need to climb out on a limb that NO ONE sees as necessary.
The closest in memory was Elmarichi's excellent thread about running hot (in 110deg. Texas) and developing the whole Taurus fan change which was completely effective. At that-he damaged no engine parts or was in personal peril. And many TX and AZ guys did that because it cured a problem that restricted their driving on bad heat days-not because they melted parts. Even Vector seems indifferent about Evans and is using it simply because his car came with it and he has it on hand already. Not because he has a drastic heat need to remedy.
It's your money and your motor so I'll shut up now.  |
I'm with Chas on this one. I get that "Emperor's New Clothes" feeling.
If you want to dissipate heat faster, then why not get an aluminum block.
