I had a high density core installed in the radiator of our MGA when I
couldn't get to cool down as much as I wanted. It looked the same in the A
and did it ever run cool. Hard run Dayton to Grand Rapids every year in
Aug. Even sitting in traffic, no sweat, well not from the car anyway. I
have not tried yet on any of out Ts yet, but most likely will do the
same.Both my TD and my wifes' TF take the summer heat just fine here in
Ohio with everything stock. I would try that before I would drill the
block.
Something to think about anyway. Terry
