Turbo Coupe nose questions

I would like to use that front on my 88 project, but I am wondering about enough air to the radiator. I assume it comes up thru the bumper openings. Just wondering how that might work with a big block cooling. Is there some vanes or something that channels air up thru the radiator?

The chin spoiler directs air up through the radiator. I have a mildly built 5.0 (read the sig below), a/c and all, and we have wicked heat, and even with the TC nose, the car does fine.

Thanks. The Sport has been "in progress" for a few ears now. Never ending. You could have both header panels painted, and swap one for the other and see what you like in real time.
