Jim,that's a good idea and I'd sure like to do it,but time is not on my side for all the other tasks which need to be performed.
I remeasured my core,and recalculated with Korff's cooling system minimums,and the trashcan lid is right on the money for open area.
I'm just gonna go for it.
I located,removed,and purchased a blower fan from a wrecked T-100 this morning.I'll have it running and if the temp gauge starts to go north,I'll go to full heat,and full blower fan,send the heat out the defroster vents and crack the windows to help the radiator.
I did this for Vail Pass(10,800 ') last September pulling the trailer.
