Just got back in town last night amd did some prefab with posterboard and it looks like it is not going to be too bad.My lower shroud is brushed aluminum, so that is what I will use for the top. We buy all kinds of metal/aluminum in our business so I will check for some suppliers Monday and let everyone know.

Bruce,
I was looking at mine yesterday trying to get ideas on what I want to do for a top shroud.

Allan H. and John Ross both have LSC's.One a sb,the other a bb.Both 600 hp and up Keith Craft's.Neither have cooling problems and both have top shrouds.

I am really starting to believe that a big part of my problem is the radiator pulling the hot air from the engine around and into & thru it.

I'd be real interested in what you find out.

Does it have any effect on the tempt reading of the guage if the wire is in direct contact with the intake manifold ? Where it is running is underneath the runners on a Victor Jr..Getting soaked with heat.
