I was thinking about using "waterless coolant" in both my engine, and intercooler system, and I wouldn't want to dilute the coolant with true Ice, so Ice packs could be used, and possibly provide better cooling than Ice.

Make sure you look into the thermal characteristics since water cools best with a little addititive to keep it from freezing. As for ice packs vs ice, about the only difference will be time to reach the same temperature in which case ice will win due to surface area exposure, then the packs from a stand point of efficiency and cost, some place the ice still in the bag inside the tank.

from what I've read, it's about the same as far as the thermal characteristics are concerned. I'm unsure though about what would heat up quicker. either way, I don't think it would be a problem, the tank holds a ton of coolant and if I somehow managed to overcome the coolant and heat exchanger, I've got a WAY bigger problem on my hands!------------------

I was refering to the time it takes for the water to cool down near the temperature of the ice vs the much bulkier ice packs. You're not going to exceed your cooling capacity with the size tank you have by a long shot. I wonder if you could get a bag of dry ice in the tank, you'd have to leave the top off to allow it to evap.[This message has been edited by Joseph Upson (edited 11-20-2012).]

or just install a vent in the tank. I'm sure I could fit dry ice in there, the hole in the top is 8" in diameter.

been a while since a real update...
Heat exchanger installed
there was a frame horn in the way of the ports, and it doesn't appear to support anything.
so I cut it off...
Pump installed
a few pretty welds...
intercooler core mounted (need to sandblast and paint all of my mounts...)
and I also got my battery tray cut out, need to get a tube of 5200 before I can finish it...

got my heads back! gained over 17% (average)on the intakes, and over 11%(average) on the exhaust!
peak flow on the intakes 250 CFM (up from 222) and 191 CFM on the exhaust(up from 174)

Holy crap, dude. This build is awesome. Now you have me thinking of doing something crazy different for my swap.
