Thread: Rad Grill Question

Tweet

I saw a roadster at Paso last year that they added an air deflector out of sheet metal curved down from the botton of the radiator over the front axle.. he said it ran 20 degrees cooloer with the deflector sending more air up thru the radiator..

Nothing tacky about it at all. Hotrodding at its best.

Don---The biggest problem with a mechanical fan in a small block driven model A, is that the fan sets too low (close to the bottom of the radiator) to really be effective. If you really want to use a mechanical fan, then get a Zips hi-rise adapter for the water pump. This is not a cheap solution, but it does raise the waterpump and the mechanical fan up about 4" from the stock position, and it makes all the difference in the world.---Brian
