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?

Yes, always pull air, never push (Mike Bellis).
Some of the pics are missing from Scott's build but I think I have them somewhere. Let me look. Just need a decent sized rad and strong fan/fans. I think he mounted it pretty low. I also toyed with the idea of somehow using the heater tubes in the longs as a secondary source to blast air onto a mid ship rad, bringing the air from the front. Couldn't figure out where to duct it without cutting and the cowl vent seemed too small so I abandoned it, but maybe it will turn a light bulb on for someone else... |
