I missed the post where he put the panel back on. Most radiators are designed to meet the pan which, with the tank being flush to the core, and this prohibits advancing the core forward for a thicker core. We can build thicker radiator cores for notched pans and construct stepped/cantilevered headers to go over the top of un-notched pans.

Thanks for the reply - it seems we are on the same page as far as fans being of any help at higher speeds.
Nice to know about some of the 'options' to fit bigger radiator cores into constrained places. I can see how this might really help in some situations. I'll ponder this when I'm ready (finally) to have you guys build a custom radiator for my car.
I think we'd all like to see his problems solved and for him to have a cooler running engine under all conditions - hopefully we'll get there soon.
