[DeTomaso] Difference between an aluminum radiator and one thatis black

[Charles McCall]

In my old 72 Pantera I had no vents, but I laid the radiator forward just
enough to squeeze a sucker fan behind. Worked fantastically. 

I also seem to remember something about the fact that the hibachi grills are
attractive, but not located where they will actaully evacuate hot air? 

I'm not sure that there is a relationship between laying the radiator down a
little bit (to fit a sucker fan behind it) and a vent?

In -my- case, I will be staying with the radiator in the upright  
position for now.  I have no holes in my hood, no vents, or way for  
the air to escape up.  Due to the shape of the front trunk in a stock  
Pantera, I feel it better to keep the radiator upright allowing the  
trunk to deflect air better.  With the radiator in a lay down  
configuration, more air is forced squarely against the front trunk,  
trying to force open the front trunk lid.

Of course, I'm probably all wet here, but that's nothing new.

Later, when I obtain a vented hood, I'll probably lay the radiator down.
