Kim;
        I would seriously consider having the radiator professionally
cleaned out. The lunatic fringe tuners out there are putting V8s in
Vanagons and say the radiator has no problem cooling motors twice the
size we are used to.
        What's up with the subject line?

Good Luck and Drive Safely
