I have been told no fan will still have heat issues. Can you report back on your findings? On hot days (95F temps) cruising at ~85mph, 3400 RPM I can see temps reach ~215 - ~220 - needle touching the top of the 210 numbers over a 30 min drive. While those don't concern me too much I would like to keep the car a shy lower.
Its fun to watch the car get to ~185 and then drop down a little as soon as the t-stat opens to allow the cooled trombone oil back into the mix.

I run a 44 row Setrab cooler in the fender for my twin plug ITB EFI 2.8 engine and even with the 6" fan cranking it still creeps just a bit over the 210 mark, but usually only when wringing it out up to 8k. Never much over that temp but on really hot days I've decided it just plain is what it is. Temp does go down a bit with easier 'normal' driving for sure though. I might try a slightly bigger 50 row unit but I really don't think it will make that much of a difference. I think the only time a real difference is seen is when the cooler is mounted up front and sees constant direct airflow. The fender stuff is just limited.
