So I have actually been following your build with interest without realising it.
Especially, as it reminded me a bit of Medusa, which is one of my all time favourites.
By chance, I was actually thinking about posting a reply regarding your radiator question the other day.
As I was going to reference Mister Towed's experience of switching to a smaller, modern, radiator on his build.
In the end, he had to replace it with a new 'old fashioned' one, as it had better cooling properties.
You will find more details of his experience starting here:

Good luck with your build, it should be amazing when finished.

Thanks for this most useful.
yes Medusa is an inspiration , mine may be called
Magnum Lignum Bestia
A friend around the corner restores TR's and currently has a 4a in bits radiator looks a likely candidate so I will borrow that and see what it looks like.
I hope to recycle the Sherpa heater by stripping it down to it's bare essentials , as pointed out a 'proper ' car heater and fan can help in marginal cooling situations.
I don't really know where I am going I only have the destination in mind ! whether it will live up to my expectations remains to be seen !
Sorry for the thread hijack Paul
