Of course, booster fans come to mind. I have a small colletcion of Porsches, and all three of them are water cooled models, two of which rely only on electric fans, and the other (a 928) has a belt driven fan "and" booster fans, the latter of which never seem to come on.

A big aluminum radiator will help bleed off heat. Redline "water wetter" will help a bit.

After break-in, I would call the tech guys at Amsoil, and ask them which one of their Series 2000 synthetic oils will be the best choice for your particular motor. The friction is a LOT less with this stuff, and that means the motor runs cooler. In this sense, you solve the problem by avoiding the problem. Also, their Series 2000 75W90 gear lube, is awesome (voice of experience).

I'd wait until you break in the motor well, on dinosaur oil, which is a phase where it will probably be producing a bit more heat anyway, and then switch to synthetic when you know things are seated and polished in.

Sounds like fun, all the best,
