I have not seen that A/C condenser in any of my hotrod air searches, so please do tell? Search "Universal AC Condenser". I think I figured out a 11"x20" would fit under the engine lid. Remove the rain pan and make a shroud so all the air has to pass thru it. Likely need 2 end to end with either Y fittings or parallel to cool well enough plus fans when your stopped. It was part of the brainstorming when I was designing the under cowl AC unit. I have the parts to build a machine to do large enough vacuum forming for the shroud but it will be a while before I have the free time. Why not run it in front of the radiator? I'm not a fan of running rubber lines to something that moves often. Worst case, run it in the fender with a fan. That's what the 911s do. |

How about angled the other way with the top towards the front? Sorry I know this is a bit old. Just borught to life in my thread & Chris linked me to this. I bought this same radiator to play with
Chris I took your idea and inverted it, but I think it will work, not optimal but should work. From this angle it looks not that bad. But from this one it is a bit worse. It gets it down with a little bit of a hump and then you can put a cover over the rest. It would be the same height as the standard board over the spare tire. Front duct work would go right below the front latch. The one that will be hard for me is the condenser for the AC. Alpines come with A/C (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Build the ductwork and put a coke cooler in the front trunk. In reality I will most likely put a fiberglass tub up there, and toss a couple of water sealed bags for tool, and other 914 emergency items.... |

Okay so @JRust , I am really late to the answer. No reason not to, just would need to figure out the tanks. In reality if you go with the 40mm version it should fit with out issue.
