Upgrading the heat exchanger (tech qs)

So i have a spare AFCO heat exchanger for a cobra sitting in my garage and im considering whether it would be worth my while to drop it in the c32...

I'd like your guys input into whether it would be worth it or not.

I've attached pictures to guide in my concept

I have the dual pass AFCO, which is the largest one in the attached photo (with both coolant ports on a single side), and it seems like with some custom brackets i could get the sucker to fit. Not to mention it would look really mean if i tucked it up right behind the bumper

Comments? Suggestions?/

other options for c32. separating out the coolant from the radiator (evosport mod). if that's done then you can run water and waterwetter. you can then try a higher capacity pump. all this much easier than what you are attempting or intending to attempt.

where can i find a higher capacity pump (and not a $1000 pump)? i was considering using a spare waterpump i had but then id have to fabricate brackets and machine my own pulley for it (as well as figure out how to place it along with the other accessories)

Gimme ideas! i have 4 machine shops at my disposal so i can pretty much do whatever i want, even if the parts arent out there

i'm trying to see what cobra parts i can use cuz i still have half an 03 cobra in my garage

The Johnson pump, CM30 is larger, but the CM90 is massive.
