An old thread in Pelican Parts explored this, everyone agreed that with the exhaust pipes under the car pre-heating the cooling air this would be a bad idea.

One would have to flip the engine upside down to get around this I suppose.

Also the design of the fan cooling shroud is very specific and directional, another complete redesign there.
