I plan on doing aero mods at some point. I'm just setting a goal for myself with engine mods only first. My primary radiator and water pump will be in the back so I'll have to do some creative ducting any way. Since I'll have a coolant temp of 240 F I'll need a radiator about half the size of the one I have now. The coolant lines going to and from the front of the car will be aluminum and welded to the aluminum belly pan and I feel they will contribute to cooling significantly. Maybe I should just make a belly pan that IS the radiator. That would keep my CG low and between the wheels. Not to mention less drag! Has anyone ever tried anything like that?
