So last night I was watching my temps. one of my trips got the engine up to 161F. I got back to the Jeep an hour and a half later and it had dropped to 79F. The ambient temp was 17F. Which is still higher then we see most of the time at night.

So I decided I'm gonna give it a shot and see what happens. I picked up some 3/4" wide by 1/2" thick foam weather stripping at Wal-Mart. It was only $2.75 for 10 feet so I figure it's no big loss if it doesn't work.

My goal is to make a reverse chest freezer like you see at the supermarket. The ones with the open top. The reason they work is because cold air sinks to the floor. So I'm going to try and seal up the top of the engine compartment to hold the heat in since hot air rises. I already have most of the grill blocked off especially across the top. So now all I need to do is seal things up.
