Default Radiator

A&C Radiator stands straight and leaning it back won’t help the over heating problem. I solved the over heating issue by installing a 96 3.8 Taurus fan $20 in a junk yard....get the plug for wiring...It is 2 speed and to make it work I got a BMW 2 speed thermostat switch. I had to buy a brass fitting a Home Depot and then drill and tap it to 14.5 mm? for the intake. Then I got a Volvo relay from a junk yard ( Volvo’s have 2 speed fans, came from a 850 $10)system works great. I use a 165 deg thermostat with a 3/16 hole drilled in it. As for front lift, around 115-120mph the front doesn’t start to lift. Air gets under the hood and pushes up. I thought about a front spoiler or enclosing the area around the engine to limit the air getting under the hood.
