I thought the large tank rads weren't pressurised, my cap is original and the rad doesn't have capacity for overflow line in cap area. It does have overflow line but at top of rad tank. The tank space was for expansion. I have the advice of a local rad builder for the custom/race crowd, he assures me that a shroud is required and will lower temp by 20-25 deg. That would put me in the zone. I have two shrouds from 230 engine trucks and will try to modify one of those. Just as a side bit he says the fan should be 3/4 in 1/4 out of rad shroud for proper airflow.
