Cooling questions

[G.R.]

I met a guy up in Port Townsend a couple of summers agofrom Idaho in his Johnex w/a built 460. He had 2- 6" fans about 4-6" from his side louvers. He had been experiencing overheating problems for 2 years in Idaho summer heat-100+. Tried various fixes to no avail,thermostats ,fans-pushers, pullers, drain, bleed the cooling system, in slow traffic his temp would climb to 220+. Happened to have 2 -6" fans that he temporarily rigged up then went out on a 100*+ day into heavy stop and go traffic, as the temp started to climb he hit the fan switch, temp began to drop to it's normal 190. Runs a shrouded 16'' Hayden puller fan
He then made mounts for the fans(nice install btw) and wired another switch into his dash. Since then he said it rarely hits 200*. You could put your hand in front of the vent and feel warm air being expelled w/o the fan, turn on the fan and it really expelled the air. Said he only used the louver fans in stop and go traffic. Otherwise the car maintains temp with airflow.

Can't remember the guys name but he had a Guardsmen Blue w/white stripes Johnex, very neat and detailed, from Boise. He and his girlfriend were on vacation and we met because of the cars and had lunch together.

Thought it was a pretty neat idea.
