I have a 427 side oiler in my 1992 Classic. I have a five core cross flow rad. Bulit by Ron Banks a nas car guy. The shrounding should not have made things worse. I think someone else said how inportant it was to shroud the front also so all the air goes thru the rad. I put on the biggest fan i could get for got how much it flows. The expanison tank on the ford is part of the cooling systems and should be full. I ran the overflow hose to another expanison tank that has to be as high or higher than the the motors expansion tank, it doesnt take much water lose thru the overfow vent each time you shut the motor down to cause a low water problem, that why a another expansion tank is good idea.. I also cut the back of my wheel wells in front of the pipes to let more air flow by the exhaust pipes. The pipes should be coated to cut down on radant heat. The only other thing is my rad. seat straingt up as yours is tilled back. If any thing my runs cold. Also you really need a oil cooler and a seven qt. oil pan. which cuts down on heat. I run Amsoil oil and there coolant. Good luck.
