This looks like a fun project. Since Renegade is local, I've visited the shop and drooled at the work they do on site. Real nice folks, and real Porsche enthusiasts, no matter what some folks may say. The last time I was there, they had 914's, 944's, 928's and of course some 911's in progress. These guys love their work.

As far as the rear radiator is concerned, I think you might have some issues with getting enough cooling if you're running it hard, especially if the ambient temps are high. The proof will be in the final testing. I say this from lots of experience with rear mounted radiators in off-road vehicles, and the fact that that "ram-air" effect of a front mounted radiator is clutch in most cases. You can make up for it with oversized radiators, and a real good shrouded fan setup, but it takes some consideration for sure.

And although I can see your point about not wanting to mess with the fuel tank, the front mounted radiator of course helps with weight distribution.

Keep up the good work, I may still go this route some day.
