[T3] Tight Engine

[Keith Park]

I have stuffed at T4 bellows IN the T3 body hole, then on the T4 wagon
adapter on the engine.  Cooling as been an issue, the oil has run hot in the
past but the heads were fine...  with the Setrab oil cooler that problem is 
gone as it drops it at least 20 degrees.

I think the problem with cooling air is the fact that the T3 fan is 2 stage,
it pulls the air INTO the squirrel cage fan as there is no pressure to push
the air in even on the highway, but in the T4 I suspect that the air is
pushed into the Squirrel cage at higher road speeds, the Busses just took
the air from the engine compartment and we know they get pressurized at
highway speeds, but the T4 wagon?  Not sure...

Yes, that's a problem, but I'm willing to believe that Keith has done this 
effectively. Another question might be whether the air passages in the Type 
3 body can carry enough air to cool a Type 4 engine. What we know is that 
other people have done this and gotten away with it. At least that's the
story 
they're sticking with.
