[DeTomaso] new radiator and fans????

[John Taphorn]

I ought to update the article sometime.  We have learned that an 
overflow tank is unnecessary if a large enough degas (fill/supply) tank 
is used.

We've also set up several Panteras with front mounted condensers and 
there is adequate cooling capacity to handle that as well.

   All,
   I am starting from scratch on a cooling system for 2511.
   I have no fans and no radiator. That leaves all options on the table.
   In the scheme of things, all choices will be about the same money, so I
   have no real financial constraints.
   I had a Quella/Ron Davis triple-pass and Hallas Mirriah pusher fans.
   The combo worked fine.
   Hood has no vents and I will not be adding them.
   I currently have a rear-mounted AC condenser and do not intend to move
   it to a forward position.
   I will likely lay the new radiator down a little bit to allow my Kirk
   Evans fiberglass upper shroud to be installed. That project got put on
   the back burner due to interference with the taller aftermarket Quella
   radiator.
   I am leaning towards a shrouded sucker fan layout. Something akin to
   Jack DeRykeas version, where he added a 1a spacer strip to move the
   fans further from the radiator core, instead of right next to the core.
   Aluminum or brass are both on the table.
   I am asking for the Familyas collective wisdom:
   Knowing what you know, with no limitations, what would your choices be?
   Thanks,
   Larry
