My cut-less conversion, My new rotary build attempt but with NO body cutting. Options

[Rotary'14]

I've been slowly gathering steam on this. After talking to the folks at the G&R flesh roast,, I'd thought I'd share some pics and thoughts.

I don't want to do any major cutting on my conversion. My goal is to have 2 usable trunks, and a car that can be easily converted back to a stocker. There have been a few threads where the possibility/impossibility of an engine bay radiator. Here's my take on it. I believe that at 25+ mph there is a low pressure spot behind the back window. I think this will be enough to suck air up through the engine compartment.
I would love to hear some constructive criticism.

Hey, Rob, I was thinking more about this last night. It's awesome to see pics. Would love to have checked it out in person!

The aerodynamic info mentioned was from that engineering teacher that autocrossed and had his students analyze the 914. They determined there was a low pressure area above the engine just behind the roll bar, but I believe it was because of the intake air being pulled from that area- could be different with the open engine compartment.

I've got an extra engine cover that I'd be willing to sacrifice to your cause. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I'm still thinking to modify the stock one would be the best/ cleanest way. I'm picturing mounting the radiator lower and then to clear the lid of the rear lid on the pivot, it would 'parallelogram' up with the lid, if that makes sense. Looks like there is some room to work with down there. That engine is little!
