Mechanical fan + pusher fan question

Here are a few tricks;
1) If you have an automatic transmission;
> you can run plenty of Idle-timing, so long as the engine stays out of detonation at stall. I mean the engine will like a lot. You can run as much as 25 or more degrees; until either of; the starter gives up, or until the engine develops a throttle Tip-in sag, due to insufficient Transfer-slot fuel.
>You probably should have a hi-capacity trans oilpan, with a lowered pick-up
> If you have a hi-stall, run an auxilliary cooler. and
> put the trans in Park during long idle times. This will dump all fluid pressure back to the pan, except the lube circuit, and reduce oil to the convertor, which will decrease the thrashing of the oil inside it.
2) run fresh cold air to the carb; hot air in, equals hotter air out.
3) Limit your water bypass system, or, make your heater core the bypass. Yes you'll get hot tootsies, but in a pinch it can be your back-up.
4) run an engine oil cooler, and/or a high capacity engine oilpan.
5) overdrive the fan

Just so you know, I once had an unsolvable overheat problem. I finally tore the engine down and
1) increased the Skirt clearance a tad, and
2) opened up the top ring gap a few thou; problem solved.
