I like this thread. I'd thought about putting a copper line on the frame of the car and running the coolant through that in the summer to give me the go-ahead for a full grill block. By using the frame of the car to cool the engine I should be able to cool it rather well. But I think I'd need a thermostat in there somewhere, or I'll never warm it up in the winter.

PS what's a wood gasifier?
