I'm really curious about how it's going to work out. I'm no expert, but I really don't see the need for much cooling that far down in the jackets. Hopefully it stiffens the thing up like you want.
While it may not be a 100% solution, it's surely bound to help. I'm really curious to see if the cooling is compromised any, -if at all.
Please keep us posted on your build, I for one am curious about what you're doing.
I'd post-up the unfortunate incident of my 18:1 build, -but I'll save that for another thread! Notice how the truck in my signature is kind of "bare", -that's because it is minus an engine right now (going for round two).
Coming soon!
