Hi Guys, A couple years ago we took a 914/Chev back to stock for a customer. I then decided to build a 283 powered car for myself. I would like to avoid the huge cutouts in the wheelhouse. has anyone mounted a fan on the trunk floor, possibly with the 2 fans already on the radiator? This would be great for an already AC cut trunk floor. I'd appreciate your input. Thanks! Brad

How feasible could an engine-bay setup be? I know it wouldn't fit in front like the Suby, but there is some room beside a v8... is it even close to being enough?
Maybe a short and wide radiator, side duct from outside like modern mid-engine cars for intake, and a low profile duct across the engine-side directing exhaust air down? I haven't had a chance to take a close look at a v8 engine bay with this in mind, so this may be out of the question. But I don't know, so I thought I'd throw this out there and get some comments. Green=radiator, red=duct... Attached image(s) |
