Hey all, still sorting through my irritating brake problems but getting there slowly.

One thing I have noticed with my 69 Camaro is when stationary, it gets very hot very quick.
And for someone who lives in West London, this could pose a problem at some point.

has anyone switched out to an aluminium radiator and electric fan?

If so, are there any prefered suppliers or companies I should avoid?

FYI.
Any parts I change or update will be done so only to make the car more user friendly in modern traffic and all original parts are being kept just n case I want to revert back any time.

Thanks all. Happy summer motoring.

Car Details:68 pontiac firebird coupe project car,my aim is a street friendly,lightly modified pro.touring style.
Lowered ,mild body mods,400 cu in SBC engine, Muncie 4speed, 10 bolt posi axle,disc front drum rear.
68 firebird convertible ( long term project) Stock resto/mod style ,400 pontiac th350
The 1st gen cars do tend to run a bit hot in slow urban traffic.
I run a factory big block rad and stock clutch fan, it works ok but it will rise up the dial in traffic.
Avoid any cheap fans on ebay and go for a named brand like Be Cool, alternative is to look round the Breakers for a dual setup from a larger engined Jag Merc BMW as these will be up to the task and cheaper.

Thanks for the feedback.
I refrained from driving anything around London on Saturday but did venture out on Sunday.
Ha it's like sitting in a portable oven. I love it.

Appreciate the advice though, thank you very much.
