Re: Performance Cooling Questions

["Chris Chemidlin" <spredhaus@hotmail.com>]

FWIW,
While flipping thru the SUMMIT catalog (looking for a line-lock for the 58) 
I saw the performance radiators for the Chevy's....  Its a 1982 Style 
Scirocco radiator (fill on the neck, no overflow). They make no bones about 
it, either... "Our Scirocco style radiator has the performance you need 
blah, blah, blah."  They also have a trick 2 fan setup for it, but its well 
over $100!  Im sure there's a better (cheaper) way to go about putting 2 
electric fans on it.

As for the lower temp fan switch, I called the local shop and they were able 
to supply them in 165, 175, 185, 195 degrees...
