No cutting- just removed the plastic pieces around the upper A-arms to vent some of the engine heat.

Yes much better

The hot air out of the radiator has nowhere to go with a mostly sealed engine compartment. Add to that the heat off the headers and it's unbearably hot in there. I also removed most of the hood seal along the windshield.

He doesn't post Here much but John G 92 has it. It gave him a few episodes of difficulty and it needs a tranny as of now. I'm sure it'll be back in action 100% before too long.
