I don't know but a big high pressure airtank  in rear, big hoses to  the
 waterpump hole in block adjustable outlet At the thermostat hole
may solve it. Big airflow and the highpressure air rushing out will have
a cooling effect . like when you empty in a tractor tire and the valve
stem freezes solid...or mayby the adjustabel valve should be at the inlet

That's the Ideal Gas Law.  PV=nRT.  Pressure x volume = number of molecules x the gas constant R x Temp. (in Kelvin) 

So if you empty the tractor tire you decrease the pressure P the temperature T on the other side of the equation goes down as well, to maintain the equilibrium.   So you can get a really cold gas, but you still have the problem of heat transfer which a gas is not dense enough to do well.  Sorry Felony, not happening.  Call me Team Aquarius.

I like the idea of just transferring a normal liquid cooling system as far back in the vehicle as you can.

Yes Paulie I'm familiar with that formula that's why i was thinking about
a reduction at the thermostat hole so the air is under pressure in the block
= more molecules.(I wounder how much pressure a block can stand)
 Nothing for the street i know but mayby for short runs
and if he aims a nozzle with the outgoing air rearwards he get some
amount of jet propulsion :o ;D ;D

Or, you can install some tubing into the freeze plugs themselves, angle-weld them into header primaries, and let the exhaust flow scavenge air from the block.

Well, if we're going this far, we might as make the compressed gas something combustible.  Light it after it's expanded and leaving the "cooling system" for even more thrust.   :)

At this rate, we'll soon have an internal combustion engine built.  :)
