Here I go again....lol. I just love outside of the box thinking...lol. So, in a previous thread of mine I touched on an idea a little...but now I am deep in thought about it. Figured I would share it with you all and see how crazy I am. What if a person were to relocate the radiator to where the spare tire is. I looked...there should be enough room. This is what I came up with pro/cons:
Pros:
Cleans up the front end, which means more direct air flow around the engine, and a possible straight shot CAI along with a better view of the V-10
Moves the radiator to a much cooler area of the vehicle
Makes it easy to mount an E-Fan
Moves all that weight to the rear
Cons:
Not sure if the stock waterpump would be strong enough to move the extra fluid all of that distance
Added total weight (though minimal) due to the extra tubing and fluid
Unless you could make a place up front, it would be a PITA to check/add fluid
Would an E-Fan be enough airflow to keep it cool since it will no longer be getting direct wind
Road debris....leaks
Add, comment, argue all you want....I appreciate the input. I may actually try this. (along with all my other crazy ideas)
