Know that my responce was contemplating the whole list of people who would
read it. The vast majority of them should never attempt a swap, 'cause they
simply do not understand there is more to it that what might appear on the
face.

Please reread and reconsider what I said that identifies you as the rare
individual that can prudently proceed with your level of understanding.

"However, if you fund the project as your hobby, 'cause you love to spend a
few hours regularly figuring out everything and testing and, heh, finally
find and resolve the last issues, and take pride in your pioneer attitude
and tenacity, and can afford the hobby, God bless you and wrench on. (And I
ment that, sincerely.) Accomplishing things few can do can have good value,
as long as the kids are fed." (What can have more value than kids who are
amazed and impressed by the resourcefullness of their parents? That's how
they learn and carry on in kind and will have value to them throughout
their lives. Value cum laude!!)

Suggest you try blocking off the rear heater hoses to see if and what
impact that may have on the temps. Also, the later dual stage radiator and
fan system should be used with the later higher capacity motor. Note also
the very different hose arrangements in the motor compartment between the
early and later designs. That's why I say, transfer the whole SYSTEM for a
much better chance at good results.

When you resolve these difficulties, let us all know how you did it. I will
applaud you as loudly as anyone 'cause I know the knowledge, effort and
skills required to do it right and get results and I am impressed with
those that succeed where lesser efforts and capabilities insure failure.
