I should have mentioned that I have the manifolds wraped with asbestos tape ,including the 8 pipes that pass under the sump . The radiator is not alluminum but uprated the fan was just refitted to move the housing right up to the rad , it's filled with distiller water ,prestone antifreeze and water wetter . I also have an oil cooler fitted .
I had not heard about opening the gap between the bonnet and the bulkhead but I can rig something to give it a try this afternoon .
Who is NeilM ?
Thanks guys , but still looking for headers
