How feasible would it be to relocate the radiator??? Some race cars run them horizontally with ducting and fans, others have rear mounts, old Indy cars had them in the side pods.... Your RPU, for example, would there have been room elsewhere to mount the radiator and duct air to it, then some stainless tubes to move the water back and forth? Just one of those out of the box what if discussions, I guess????
