Another idea I thought about is to put it in the back of the wagon and seal off the passenger compartment right behind the back seat. I could then knock out the side and rear windows and feed the air in from the sides and right out the back. That might work if the aerodynamics of the car agree with the idea. Only issue is how big would the side scoops be to catch enough air and will they block my side views since the rear view will be practically nill with the ducting back there feeding the radiator. I would put an electronic rear view back there to fix that.
I could get away with this in cooler country, but here, I have to keep engine cooling a high priority - that means enough airflow to keep the engine happy while humming along the desert floor. Also, with the extra air resistance of the radiator on the roof, will I be really gaining anything at faster speeds vs a mild build of an EJ25?
