I've been slowly gathering steam on this. After talking to the folks at the G&R flesh roast,, I'd thought I'd share some pics and thoughts.
I don't want to do any major cutting on my conversion. My goal is to have 2 usable trunks, and a car that can be easily converted back to a stocker. There have been a few threads where the possibility/impossibility of an engine bay radiator. Here's my take on it. I believe that at 25+ mph there is a low pressure spot behind the back window. I think this will be enough to suck air up through the engine compartment. I would love to hear some constructive criticism. -Robert Attached image(s) |

I hope it works for you Robert. I worry about it being able to cool a rotary but you know a hell of alot more about the motor than me. I do want to see a radiator work in the engine compartment. I still think running dual boxter radiators on the sides in front of the wheels. With an intake on the side is worth trying. I will be doing it at some point. I think it is best suited for a normally aspirated suby motor though. I wish you the best with it & hope it works.
