Hello everyone, this is my first posting to this board and I am hopeful that some of the very knowledgeable members will be able to help direct me as I try to tune up and up grade my Volvo B30 powered Marcos Gt which is equipped with the ever so clumsy BW35 transmission. Listed below are some of the ideas I came up with to improve the performance and drivability of my car. As it stands the car will run very hot in heavy traffic, so please keep that in mind as you review my ideas.

- 165 Degree Thermostat
- Header Wrap ( I already did the exhaust)
- Hot Ignition System (Are They Available for this app.?)
- MSD Hot Box
- New (Performance) Plugs and Wires
- New Engine Fan (Where can I find a fair priced replacement?)
- Auxiliary Puller Fan to suck out the hot air from the engine bay
- Performance Air Cleaner (K&N Style) coupled a to ram air set up
- Synthetic motor oil

Well that�s it for now, I guess? I look forward to any responses that I might receive, also, if any one knows where I can find an overdrive unit for my BW35 trans, and a nice new valve cover for my motor that would be great!
