I built a tribute Cobra rather than a replica. it has a space frame and is running an LS6 engine. The frame design forms a VEE, the point of which is behind the radiator. I sealed the engine compartment. There is an aluminum cradle on top of the frame that seals the frame to the body. The frame is 16 inches tall and is aluminum skinned. I put 2 side vents per side. They are stacked. The radiator stands straight up and is only 18 inches wide and 12 inches tall. I have run it on the track at high speed with out any perceivable lift. And it runs cool. I've never had a temperature problem.
