Fan Shroud On MCI

[jackhanow]

maybe just a 5 gallon tank, maybe all you need is more capacity. you took out about 5 to 6 gallons of liquid space by removing the heat to the cabin. just modify the plumbing on the right side and bolt to the lavatory bracket.

Over on BNO back in 2008, Mark Renner mentioned replacing the MCI blowers with the 24V Prevost condenser fan set up.

Mark also put a bunch more thought into his setup than most allude to when they refer to it.

Ain't nothing worthwhile gonna be easy. . . . .

I've got a MC7 and really would like to do something as well.  The MC7 has a radiator on each side.  How about a couple 24 volt fans on the outside of the rads?  Here is a picture of the radiator.  https://goo.gl/photos/QZHik7ZA6vfbYsYW6

I don't know about electric fans on the outside there has been a lot of debate on that.Marks setup is not on a MCI it's on a Eagle with the side mounted single radiator at a lower level

Part of the idea of the blower set up was to blow the air on the motor for additional cooling. I believe its lack of capacity. If you could somehow add another radiator or 2 and increase the capacity by 3 gallon heat exchange it would really increase the cooling. I had considered bolting a 70s or 80s Ford pickup rad to the bulk head in front of the differential. Has a frame and they have an electric fan that attaches to it. Was thinking that way the heater bypass could circulate the way it was designed to. After reading several post on not getting any real life out of the engines, and seeing that most people just close off the heater circuit, it may be not enough circulation of the coolant. All the vehicles i work on have a heater circuit that flows either all the time or most of the time. If there is a heater valve in the system, it only restricts the flow, not cut it out completely.

I also have a MCI 7 with the 8v92 and Allison 740 automatic. What I did after putting in new radiators, new squirrel cage seals, I had another radiator built which is 4 inches thick and 24 inches wide and about 30 inches tall which I mounted on the right side behind the air cleaner and then plumbed it into the right had side plumbing and also put a fan with a shroud on it. I have also built a trans cooler using a oil cooler out of a GM and had a self contained cooling system built for it along with a fan with a shroud and it is mounted on the left side engine access. I also have a misting system which Geoff built for me which uses 1/2 in drip irrigation tubing and 180 degree sprays, puts out some serious water, and even with all of that I really have to watch the   temp. It works for me.
