Overheating has always been an issue on this car.   The problem was finally eliminated by addition of this fully ducted aluminum radiator from Griffen.  Hot air from the radiator exits the body through the original hole where the radiator used to be.  Because the front plenum is now heated, fresh air to the cockpit is ducted through two 2-1/2" tubes into the original dashboard vents. One of the fresh air intakes can be seen inside the radiator duct on the passenger side, and the other draws air through a NACA duct under the nose of the car.

 Also in these views you can see the battery in the front, right wheel arch, Tilton  pedal assembly,  the blade-type fuse block, and the circular MIL connectors which distribute power from them.

Oil Cooler

The oil cooler is mounted where the left hand gas tank would normally reside.  A NACA duct feeds air to the cooler through two 3-1/2" flex tubes.  An Earles oil thermostat is mounted on the bulkhead behind the driver to keep the oil warm for street driving.
