PT Radiator Air Scoop
I hope you guys do the ribbon thing, kinda why I didnt post my
result. I found that there is no airflow past the grill. the ribbon would not lift horiz. mounted on aprox 6 inch a piece of plastic, the ribbon would spin out and back to the rear. when the fan come on the ribbon got sucked to the grill. I wanted to open the rear gate and see if that changed air flow. But remember;is you only need the engine oil to be 230 to 250 and the water 180 to 195 to make the bus run as engineered. running cooler than that is not cool. I do think that the hydrolic fan could do a better job of reusing the radiator passed air to more evenly cool the outside of the block. If you run the bus at 1500 rpm standing still ;fan on. most of the air goes out the first 3 feet of the rear door vent and verry little ever gets pathed to the battery area and manifold over the passanger side engine block. I wonder if closing off most of the leading part of the rear door vent would shroud the air to push heat out of the engine compartment. I would think it would path air thru the rad for those who have electric fans above the batteies. shrouding engines for air cooling is an engineered calc. I think that is where the gas workhorse pushers are having problems.
