Reverse Cooling Porsche style
Saw a twin turbo deal today at work where the water cross-over was at the back of the engine!
Think it made the system more efficient as the water still did the double pass deal but water entered and exited from the back of the engine. Opened up package space at the front of the engine for some FEAD accessories. Thought it might open up using a center mounted (in the valley) alternator with a serpentine deal like many of the Ford mustangs have. What do you guys think? Tom V.

"What do you guys think?"
I think... that you should build such an animal (with alternator in the valley) and then 'show & tell'! |

I was checkin 'out the timing covers at R.A.R.E. Ent. and ran across the one that uses a SBC waterpump. one could omit the front crossover using the SBC waterpump and devise a crossover for the rear of the cylinder heads and then .....he'd have to figure out where to plumb the top radiator hose to and someplace to put that pesky thermostat....HMMM. need to think a lil more on this one.

If you devised a cam sensor trigger wheel that bolted on the front of the camshaft (instead of the fuel pump excentric) and located the trigger pick-up in the fuel pump mounting location then there would be no need for the distributor in the back of the engine other than as a "spud" to drive the oil pump. Course you would need a coil pack type ignition and a crank trigger wheel/sensor too.
Just thinking on how to bring the Traditional Pontiac up to 2006 electronic standards. Tom V.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
