You are stealing my thunder with the electric fan idea!
My plan is to mount two auxiliary coolers, one for my Power Steering Fluid and another for the Engine Oil right below the two drip pans which I will cut out.
Not only will these cooler have electric fans pushing the air through them and through the louvers, but they will also have an Evaporative Cooling System as well. Sort of like those Misters you folks in SoCal see all over the place.
Evaporative cooling, using distilled water from Wal-Mart and the Windshield Washer tank/pump can and does provide an unbelievable drop in temperatures.
The key is to use only as much water as can be evaporated on the fins of the cooler. Anymore is not only wasted but also impacts efficiency in a negative way.
I have done a lot of experimenting on this, (on my kitchen stove and in the shop. Now I am getting ready to build a system for the Jeep.
