    Holes in the hood

     



    Hey everyone, Wanted to pass this idea around and see what everyone thought. Like a lot of others here iam having a cooling problem, At driving speed the temp stays at 185. Idling it goes to 220. I have taken care of a lot of the prob by removing the pusher fan in front of the rad. I have an 18 inch flex fan on the water pump. No air conditioning. No fan shroud yet. I am planning on putting one on.

    When i removed the pusher fan the temp only goes up to 200. Been thinking of putting three portholes like the old buicks had. They will be 2 and three quarter inch holes each. Iam posting pics so yall can get an idea of what i want to do. Thanks for
    listening to my rambling. All advice will be appreciated. Don
