Well, as an FYI to all, I've got what I think is a datsun 310 fan in my
modified 2 liter, and never have had any overheating problems. I think it
cost me 7 bucks at the wrecking yard, plus a few $$ for a thermo switch at
Shucks. The fan has a built in shroud, and about all I had to do was cut
off part of the fan mount.
