I hear ya, but there are several successful Notch applications of 2056's and
bigger but none (that Jake knew of) in a Square or fasty. Yea, it doesn't
SEEM to make sense, but no changes in timing or mixture would have much
affect at all on highway running temps, and the cooling system was check
over many times to make sure it was working properly.
It would run fine around town, and it would take a half hour to get too hot
on the highway but even when it was only 40F out that engine STILL ran too
hot.

Also, I don't understand what it is about the Type 4 intake that
provides "forced induction." It's been years since I dealt with one,
and this is not an aspect I paid any attention to, but the Type 4
squareback louvers and ducting strike me as pretty much the same as
those in the Type 3 squareback.
The notch ducting is a lot more convoluted. Are you under the
impression that the area behind the notch rear window is a high
pressure region? Is this true? I wouldn't expect this, but I don't
know.
I agree. Especially when you look at the bus louvers, and that the lower
half of the engine is sealed in a bus, so it's just drawing in air from all
around the engine compartment (mixed hot and cool air).
If you look at the cooling slots under the rear window of a Notch, you'll
see that area is actually slightly smaller (surface area) than the 2 sides
of a Square, or Fastback. It's also a low pressure are like the front air
vent (in front of the windshield), so it's not pressurized. It (a Square)
should actually have better cooling air intake flow than a Notch. I don't
know
IF you've ever looked inside the Notch cooling ducts before, but there's
actually dams inside the duct work. I don't know what they do, other than
maybe divert water toward the drains. But they do stand up to about 1/2 the
duct work. :O
What makes you think the t-3 fan is 2 stage? I know the belt pulley has
vanes in it, but I've always thought they were to straighten out the air
flow
into the large fan.
