Looking for ideas on ways to cool the under hood temperature from the headers. My cobra has a 351 Cleveland in it. It runs fine with temperature around 190 when driving, a little hotter when in stop and go driving. However, when I turn the engine off the under hood temperature heats up to the point it boiled the clutch fluid. I have ceramic coated the headers, put in heat shields that shield the fluid master cylinders both clutch and brake, rerouted the clutch line and placed it behind a heat shield. That seemed to solve the problem on the clutch, but now I have a problem when the temperature goes over 190, I lose my electronic gauges (tach, charge, etc.). I just have the dual electric fans upfront of the radiator. I was wondering if putting a mechanical fan in would force more air past the headers and keep them cooler. Certainly open to other ideas.
