You guys are just so used to seeing it on here.......maybe it needs a makeover.......I need to call HGTV.
Root, I have seen some guys tap into the freeve plugs on the side of the block, rear ones, and run them through an electric pump to a small rad hidden under the car. This way you can keep the front of the car clean, no pump, no belts, no plumbing visable since your motor is set back so far, and you can begin to control the motor temps somewhat. Later if you have proven this out you could increase the cooling capacity by instaling a second rad or a larger one. Just a thought. Love the way the car looks.
i am sure some else said this, but no matter how hot it is in side the cab, it is still cooler than what is coming out of the block. and you already have the cooling lines run it appears... (remotely located electric water pump and large radiator ayed down in the cab, w/ an electric fan?)
