    For a 3.8, no. You're S.O.L.
    There is no way to bypass the TB coolant, except to completely block it off after removing the TB it'self. Really, you should look into getting a TB spacer. It will block off the coolant passage for you.
    The coolant is internal on the 3.8's, and has no external hoses.

      Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
