Man, I feel really dumb bringing this up. Disclaimer: I am NOT a mechanic.
So, my question is, could the radiator be put in the back, with super-duper fans?
Here's how my thinking goes:
(1). diesel trucks, farm tractors, etc., can sit all day long and not get hot.
(2). We had an amusement park type train, that ran on a Ford 4-cylinder gas tractor engine, with fans on the radiator, that worked great. Top speed about 10 MPH.
(3). VW's have no radiator. Porsches???
Combine the water radiator, and the oil-cooling radiator.
Thanks, Bill Lewis
