I dropped a Wizard radiator into Old Blue and it solved the cooling
issues Dentinger experienced for years in the old TR3. Actually, I have
Wizard products installed in a couple street cars as well, they work. If
they keep a Stag cool, they must have figured something out.  

One caveat worth mentioning, both Steve's car and mine run the early
small mouth valance, which does not require much in additional ducting.
On the wide mouth cars, a good ducting solution is critical. If I were
racing a TR3A with that big grill, I would be so tempted to run an
oversized radiator and the obligatory thermostat, that has been my
solution with the TR4 and the TR250. I have seen it done in a TR3, I
will admit you need to get a bit more creative with the limited space
available. 

I never saw the need for a fan in a race car, if you know when to run
the thing, and more importantly when to shut it down, why bother?
