rad housing will be in the treasure chest.
cool air will come from the high roof vents and extra ducting, warm air will exit via a hole cut in the treasure chest floor.
i have a nice compact 4 core rad from a corvette that i hope will do the trick.
i will probably have to wind up the rear slightly even with the cvd sump but i hope to have no sign of a subi conversion from the outside.

Do people pay attention to the sound when they are near/following el concreto? I'd say that would be the last thing on my mind.

sorry for questioning you, alot - but is this a long term sort of process, and - do you aim (like joel did) to be able to swap over with very minimal
work...

i have every thing i need minus the short sump to do the job, and the best thing is so many people like joel have done the conversions now that most
probs can be answered, so i'm hoping that once i start it wont take too long.
i just have to get the new mk2 gti on the road and put a motor back in the other split and i'm on to it.
and i guess i should start thinking about a disc brake conversion too hey?

took today off work to start cutting!!
cut the opening in the floor and in the air channel, will have to seal off the air channel after the cut so air is directed through the radiator
only.
now i have to make up a frame to hold the rad and enclose it with a opening door to service the fan.
i also trimmed up the rear valance.

no its a copper 4 core out of a corvette will give it a go with a flap under the front to help the venturi effect also have a couple of ides to catch
some more air if needed.
fitted the rack and pinion steering today also mounted the 5 in 1 tacho, water temp gauge etc plus fan and engine check lights.
also fitted the short sump and detailed the engine ready to go back in.
does any one have any good pics of non reversed throttle body linkages as i have plenty of room so will try it stock.
cheers,
bob
