We have the oil cooler set up alongside the radiator so it's not
blocking any of the water radiator. Also essential to have excellent
shrouding around everything up front so the air has proper motivation to
go thru the coolers instead of around them.
a hole in the chin, below the shelf also can bring air to that bottom
part of the radiator. Shrouding from that hole to the radiator will aid
the motivation of those little air guys down there too.
have a gutted thermostat body where the old thermo was.
A modern core between the two TR header tanks finishes the cooling
system re-engineering.
Rarely run hotter than 200 deg F, even in the summer

Takes time to adapt to the bias tires after running on the BFGs
comfortably. I spent many races watching the apexes well away from my
car when I made the change. Finally started to adapt when I discovered
cursing wasn't helping and only a modification to driving style would.
The biggest trick was to begin turning in earlier and shallower than
with the radials. It also takes a while to get comfortable with the
amount of slip they will develop while still remaining attached (sort
of).
