I'm looking for cleaver ideas on how to cool off the engine compartment, and thus cool down the interior of the car. I'v put headers on the engine, which of course did not help the situation any at all. So far I'v: insulated under the carpet, over the tranny hump; removed the heater water hoses; placed insulation over the exterior of the evaporator box in the engine compartment; placed header covers over the upper most parts of the headers, where they come off the head, and curve down; made a metal shield between the #8 cylinder header and the evaporator box - and the heat still finds a way in. Its not as bad as before but its still there. My concern is trying to use the a/c with the evaporator box so hot. I saw where someone mounted electric radiator fans on both sides of the engine, down near the frame to pull the hot air out and blow it under the car - I haven't received the fans yet but will put them in when they come. Any other cleaver ideas? I've also had someone tell me that the a/c heater fan is supposed to run on low, when the system is shut off completely, thus always letting hot air blow in through the duct work. Is that true?
