I know this had been tried 7+ years ago, I was wondering if since then has anyone done a watercooled conversion and not put the radiator in the front trunk?

I've seen finned aluminum tubing a bit like that in a process plant on the Gulf coast. Thought about trying to find it for my car when I was planning for the V8, but never did.
Found it, here: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.vulcanfinnedtubes.com-2618-1421716083.1.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.vulcanfinnedtubes.com-2618-1421716084.2.gif) I just googled "longitudinal finned aluminum tubing." I think it's high-dollar specialty stuff (petro-chemical plant) but ask, for the tiny quantities you'd need I'm sure they'd have some odd lengths for sale cheap. The one I saw was thin walled and actually had a lot more thinner and shorter fins than that, so if that doesn't work try some of the other suppliers. And if it sticks down too much you can just grind off those fins. |
