Misc. Staying cool in South Florida
First thing I need to do is fix cooling issues. I am fine on quick trips but here in South Florida we are already in the upper 90's before do any distance I need to upgrade the fan. I "Think" the radiator is fine. I measured the core to be 15 1/2" tall x 24 1/4" wide x 2" deep. I did a lot of research and I think a Ford Contour Fan and a pair of Painless 70 amp fan relays with a 185 on 175 off and 195 on 185 off thermostatic switch should work for the heat here. I will need to remove the flex fan and extension, but once those are gone looks to be plenty of room. Anything I am missing or should look out for?
I also considered one of those ebay aluminum v8 conversion radiators with dual fans then replacing the fans with a quality brand name fans, but it got pricy quick with fans going for $AMC 150 per fan. The contour fan seems to be a good reliable budget minded solution. I just worry I will be able to trim the width enough to fit between the brackets.
