Jeep 4.0 in 69 Barracuda
Radiator cooling is all about airflow. (Duh, this guy’s a genius right?). But the reason I point it out, is that Chrysler knew this as well when they stuffed a 5.9 in the 98 Grand. They added air vents in the hood to help get heat out of the engine compartment. A big (enough) radiator is one thing, but if the air can’t easily escape, it loses efficiency. Now a Barracuda had those cool looking hood inserts,…hmmm, let me think here for a moment….
They should be far enough forward on the hood, I would think, so as not to cram air back down in the engine compartment off the windshield like the cowl vents.
