I have worked on and even owned air-cooled vehicles. Radiator problems
aren't so bad. On the other hand, noise, air leaks, dirt and oil as a
source of reduced cooling efficiency, and cab heating with contaminated air
all come to mind. We found out with Volkswagen Beetles and Vans, that air
cooling efficiency during road use is heavily, heavily dependent on vehicle
aerodynamics and can even be affected by something as seemingly innocuous as
opening a window. For crawling, your cooling needs would be a serious
horsepower drain. This is because at low engine speed any deficiencies in
the engine cooling system, such as cylinder or head "hot spots", become
painfully apparent. You have to compensate, by grossly oversizing the fan
and duct work. Liquid cooling concentrates the heat exchange area and
thereby solves more problems than it creates.

Re: 4 cyl Jeep?
Hay Dan
The four cyl. Works fine. Yes they are very slow going up a hill. I run
with a bunch of guy's who run V8's . Every year on are trip to Silver
Lake sand dunes I have to tow one of them out. Sure I dont fly up the
hills like they do . but its still fun. I also drive mine the 21/2 hour
trip to the dunes and drive back home. They trailer there Jeeps.
Anouther guy I wheel with is big into mud. I go with him alot also. I
get stuck just as much as him with his 8. I have a winch so it's not
that big of a deal . I'm more into trail rides. So it works good. Right
now i'm changeing gears to 4.88's . That will really make a huge
diffrence. Hope this helps.
