I am thinking again about a v-8 conversion. I was trying to think of ways to minimize the cutting of the tub for the radiator install...I'm not too keen on chopping on the inner fenderwells (for escape air). I have seen guys vent the radiator through the top of the hood, but rarely does it look sanitary. I found this pic. The guy is venting his oil cooler, but would a series of (maybe larger) NACA ducts do the trick for the radiator?...obviously more surface area on the radiator...let me know what you think.
Anyone have input? Attached image(s)
