<VV> folded fin cooler again

[Rick Norris]

Ray,
Years ago I did exactly what you are planning and for the same reason, How 
to Hot Rod Corvairs. I ran the motor in my 65 autocrosser and later in my 
dune buggy. I could not tell the difference. I now use the 12 plate on my 
Corvairs. I also have a folded fin sitting on my shelf. As long as the 12 
plate is clean and has no seeds or greasy dirt deposits blocking the cooling 
air passages it should work fine. I would pay way more attention on 
de-flashing the heads.

I have a 140 in a late model with 140 shroud.  I bought the folded fin 
cooler because of the "how to hotrod corvairs" book.  I know the folded fin 
type is much more efficient.... but so far one person at least said the 12 
plate cooler is better then the smaller folded fin unit......

I already bought the folded fin cooler.... which should I use.... original 
12 plate cooler or the folded fin cooler?
