the first attemp was a mile out of line n a bit bulky so made another from flat bar

I had that core plug blow out on one of my trikes. I was just approaching a roundabout & was suddenly enveloped in steam.

mounted the fan and rad properly. wire brushed with a brass colored cup in the cordless gave it a smooth enough surface to black up.. used drilled out tap washers to stop vibration. hard enough to not crush but soft enough to help with the vibration.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers. The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

its a lot tighter than it looks chevy rick but also hoping to make a stainless surround to pretty it up and direct the air flow. as O N says the air needs to be funneld to the rad. think the gap from the fan to the rad is about a inch n half.

I had over heat trouble with my kit car, basically same as your set up. Old guy came by and forced cardboard down the side between grill and rad so all air was forced through rad instead of around rad. Now perfect, have made up aluminum panels, hardly ever runs to hot and fan is now only kicking in in traffic.

Happened to me once after hauling a ford engine from a scrap yard for my brother lucky for me i had a jubilee coin laying around on the floor of my robin van put it in with a little tap of a hammer filled the rad with some water from a stream at the side of the road and off i went on my merry way.
