Folks,

The tilt forward design is on purpose.

It is a air pressure/annulus stall thing.

You build much higher pressure and therein flow with the forward tilt.

And you do not encounter annulus stall until a much higher speed.

Ideally you need a opening in the bonnet to exit the air upwards and this was in the original design but it seems that folks wish these things to look a certain way.

If you look at the radiator location relative to the body you will see that it is positioned in just the right place for an air exit. Much like the Daytona Coupe.

However I am going on here.

Jdean, you can mount the bloody thing anyway that makes you happy and with any luck it will cool perfectly.

For a road car it really does not make that much difference.

What does is the fan. Give that part of your design a lot of attention.
