Yes, it has a custom made fan shroud to direct more air and a new tri pass rad. also a stewart stage two aluminum water pump. The carb is a new 1850, may need re jetting, it may have 12-15 laps on it, engine has always run hot despite all efforts to correct. I have been told by several that " it is going to run hot because of the bore.060" I know that is not the issue as most of the engines I have built were .060" and I have not had this continued problem. Thanks for the info.
