Think along the lines of Volenti's dual-block and you should get the idea of what I'm thinking. Except with just one inlet/outlet (the larger diameter the better, as much flow as possible) to keep it simple.

Then again, I have no idea how you'd ever machine something like this out of the copper base.
I like it.

The fins definitely don't need to be that big, of course!

It would have to be assembled, possibly brazed, it really can't be machined. It could be built as-is, but with a clear top, and barbs on either side, and lights, and...
