Has anyone ever done a V8 conversion using side mount radiators? Seems that most/all take over the front trunk for the radiator. So was wondering if anyone ever did one with side mount radiators (in the eng compartment with cooling scoops on the sides behind the doors) and kept the front trunk intact?

The plumbing would be a nightmare... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have seen turbo intercoolers mounted in the IMSA style flares just behind the doors. I have seen a inline 4cyl turbo use a radiator in the engine compartment sideways (like a early Audi 5000)
Honestly, there isnt much room in front of the tire for a radiator. B |
