So I decided I wanted to run five of the grill blocks but after testing I found it was getting a little warmer then I wanted. After look at the grill and the openings I had left. I found that it wasn't getting a whole lot of air through the radiator. Most of it was traveling around it. So I used a little galvanized steel to redirect some of the air. I went ahead and painted it because it's behind the grill and harder to get to then the others.

Sadly in the process of putting the grill back in I managed to crack one of my grill blocks, Oops. A little 2000 pound epoxy should hold it till I cut a new one.
