Are you worried about being able to find it at night?

How do you intend to get air to go through the radiator? Jim

mmm, not for the purists but then i'm not one of 'em.
i would have thought that a good choice of engine. its a boxer. makes loads of power. and very tuneable. i like the rad in the back - keeps it simple (as long as theres enough air flow?) you got fans behind there? is it running? what gearbox?

Jim, I've got a pusher fan in back right now. the pics I posted were very early on in the "trial fit" process. everything seems to be coming together nicely. as it sits and idles, the fan does a great job. the radiator gets hot to the touch upstream of the fan, and downstream, you can hold on to the end tank comfortably. There's room to put a second fan if needed.
dickester: It runs and drives, I need to sort out a little throttle cable problem, and we're good to go. Instrumented hot testing will begin soon. searching for "Porscharu" will turn up some of the other threads with other pics... sjd
