Thanks Darryn, it looks fabulous!

Looking at it...technically speaking it's Front Mid-Engined!

What sort of grill are you looking to fit?

[Dodgey1]

No grill to restricting fo air flow, because they run so hot maybe something down track see how it goes...did volume work for you..penguinracer

No audio so can't hear it

[Penguinracer]

No sound unfortunately.

I figured a Bentley Mesh or Packard-style vertical slats might work aesthetically- but can appreciate the cooling issues...especially in Australia.

Is there anything you can do in respect of radiator efficiency / capacity?

Are there alternative water pumps available...perhaps from a Merlin which I assume ran hotter with the supercharger & operation at altitude?

I wonder if these guys have a few spare Merlin water pumps kicking around...

Haven’t taken it on long drive yet runs at 73 deg around the block I have electric pumps header tank and radiator in the back got 100 litres of water in it,, in a centurion tank they run them flat out 2500 rpm ish so pump spins fast I’m doin 1500 to 2000 rpm so pump spins slow, I will work it out merlin pumps are different mates got one we run on trailer his gets hot running at low revs 2000 rpm..
