you could get a marine engine head of the right size but u would still have to do something about pump and water reservoir and all that would probs add lots of weight but its up 2 u

hmm, i just had an idea. you can somehow find a water cooling engine head (marine) that will fitn a wasp .26. then run small hoses filled with water through like a radiator type thing in the front of your savage to cool the water down, then run it to the engine cooling head (hopefully this will make cold water cool down your engine).

You would still need a pump to make flow round otherwise you would have hot water in the engine and cold in the radiator.

haha, Use a Passive pump from a PC Watter cooling system, its small and light weight. I bet you can madify it to runn off of a 7.2v batter pack as well.

perhaps you can get some sort of pump with a small gear on it so you could run it off the spur gear[&:]

Buy a huge cooling head. American CNC makes some heads of ridiculous size. You can find them on ebay for about $30. They are so big and cool so well that lots of people in normal temp climates can't use them because the engine stays too cool and they can never get it tuned without it being too lean. I've heard of it dropping temps 60-80 degrees f. Start there before you start messing with water cooling.

Or you could possibly tap into the muffler and use it to pump??? Faster you go the faster it will pump needed water to the engine.infact i think i will try this out lol

I have one of these. The prices are higher now, but they are WAY worth it. I can't run it (obviously) on anything I have now but wish that they made them for more engines. I got a solid 40 deg F drop...

Here is kind of what im talking about....1.water tank with 2 lines,one (the yellow one) for the air from the muffler to go in and fore water out of the other line(black line) and into the cooling head (which i donthave pictured because i dont have one) and the water out from the cooling head in another line would go into a three way adapter onto the yellow line from the muffler forcing that water back into the tank...hope you got me on this one
Also thats not where the tap would go.
