My take-away from the vid (and I think the one I saw originally had tufts elsewhere as well) ... is that there's an awful lot of the grille intake area where the air isn't going through the rad. Which, for a car that can sometimes have marginal cooling isn't something I'd want.
It would be interesting to see a proper wind-tunnel exercise done with the Mog .... just as long as I'm not paying for it 🙂

Definitely an awful lot of wind passing through that rad Image, but the real question is what happens to it after that?
My Plus 4 runs at 82c, so I'd put money on Morgan (or the previous owner) having fitted an 82c thermostat, perhaps when he previous owner had my SiFab ally rad fitted he also went with the 82c stat?
These 82 degree Duratec thermostats are available and typically used by people converting a Mk1/2 Escort to Duratec power, personally I'm not a fan of them because 82c is actually a very cool operating temperature for a Duratec.
Ford designed the engine to run at 105c -110c. I know that’s largely for emissions, but I'm looking to go up to at least a 95c thermostat and blank the lower exposed part of the SiFab rad, my Morgan doesn’t overheat, it doesn’t actually run anywhere near as hot as it should!
