Just read this. Very pretty. I just picked up a 91 alpine sedan. It had no motor so I'm slapping a m20b27 in it. Worlds first 91 325e...
About the m20 radiator shroud, I can't imagine that fixed your problem of getting hot while stopped. Will an m42 shroud not fit the m20 rad? I think that would solve the problem if it's still present.
Anywho, really nice car. It's fun to see a pretty one so I can dream about mines' future.Originally posted by Andy.BWhenever I am about to make a particularly questionable decision regarding a worryingly cheap diy solution, I just ask myself, "What would Ether-D do?"

I only added the shroud when I put in the mechanical fan, and that has helped. The car always was staying cool while driving with the larger radiator, but would run hot at prolonged idle without any fan. I probably will be wiring in an electric fan eventually instead, but the current set up works fine. I'm sure you can make an m42 shroud fit, the differences in radiator size between m20/m42 is probably minimal but I didn't want to bother when I can just get one that's a direct mount, albeit the m20 shroud probably doesn't direct the flow as well. The secondary fan from the now gone AC still works and I use it if I get caught in traffic on a hot day.
The best part is I have some space to work in the front of the motor :pLast edited by shameson; 01-08-2016, 10:50 AM.'84 Alpine 325e (Gone)
