I'm not sure about that. I do know I'd have a hard time trying to find room for two of them under the hood.

Edit: Upon further thinking I don't think this would work good if they were in parallel. They are roughly equivalent to the volume of the engine. So, if the engine dumps into them it would only half fill each of them. If we put them in series, you'd just be dumping cooler coolant into the engine each time the thermos' dump their coolant.
