Snow trooper's random idea #4675875 came today on a drive over donner summit... radiator in the rear
Trunk sealed off completly to form a tunnel, large cowl under car where spare tire use to reside. Possibly small cowls just aft of the rear doors that flow through the hollow area to the inside of the rear fenders. also thought of a raised lip on the front edge of the trunk where it meets the window, real small maybe 1/2-1 inch to keep it clean, but still add pressure. stock or even larger better quality raditator mounted as low as possible and tilted forward to best recieve air from the main lower cowl. two as large as possible electric fans. ducting from the cowl(s) made of fiberglass then sealed nicely to the front edges of the radiator. ducting from the back of the radiator and fans to the exit. outlet in the rear trunk lid (or bumper depening on how low you can get the raditator) vented with very small hinged slats to open as needed. servo based dependent on a voltage signal from a temp sensor. Coolant lines made from heat wrapped 1.5" OD .100>* wall aluminum tubing passing down the trans tunnel and into the trunk area. secondary electric coolant pump in the rear (although i think the stocker is sufficient).
what i would do with all the free area in the front is for another post, but i just felt like sharing. though i am sure alot is left to wonder, the visiual in my head is beyond sick.... ohh and the air flowing back there like that serves other beneficial purposes also. and if it isnt obvious this idea isnt exactly a daily driver friendly idea.
:P

:-) I need to work on a few details, but since I have them in hand
its just up to when I get free time. Swapping Peter's turbos this weekend so I won't get to it right now. Need to figure out what I want to do with the steels as well.
