Replacing E350 Grill and Header Panel for more air flow.

[rebar]

I'm rebuilding the engine in my cummins van, and when I started removing the front end , I noticed the Header Panel (and Grill) really reduces and blocks the amount of incoming air.

Can anyone recommend how to improve the amount of free air space to allow my inter-cooler to breath? Thanks!

Hi,

actually I don´t think that any standard grill will reduce the air flow very much. This is relative to the air that will "flow" through the radiator. The amount of air going through the radiator must really pushed/forced through. Take a look how tight the holes in the radiator are- compared to the grill!
When you are driving you will push a lot of air in front of you and around the front-but due to the radiator itself not the grill.
