| If you are using an LS1 engine it is easy to set it up for 2 radiators as there is no crossover in the engine. Each side of the engine can be cooled with its own radiator by using two water pumps and a thermostat for each side. |

That is interesting, is that what you did on your car?

| My car has a singe, front mounted radiator. If you were to use the two pump installation it would be interesting to try and use an electrical control that would run the pumps depending on the temperature. That might make it unnecessary to have the thermostat. You will also have to figure out plumbing for the heater circuit and you will need two header tanks to bleed the engine steam tubes into. It would definitely be more complicated than the stock water pump but it would give more clearance in front of the engine if you need it. |

RT,
I apologize for the delay in responding, I've been away for about ten days.
That set-up is so sanitary. It is really inspirational to look at that engine bay.
I think the symmetry is a big part of what makes it work. Also, the really tidy work. Thanks for the pictures.
