Marcos Maniacs

Hey Mark
On my Capri V6 conversion, I used a heavy duty radiator out of a racing MGB.
I found a hose at the local trac auto parts, which I cut in to 2 parts. One
for the upper hose and the other for the lower hose. By the way I finally
solved the overheat problem with a fan from a 735i BMW. I blows so hard, I
feel air out the hood vents.
