Default Theoretical block

I had a lucid moment yesterday... and dreamed up this block:

In short, it's a 3/8 or 1/2 barb center mount, surrounded by a 1 3/4 barb mount. A little tube in a big tube.

The tubes would connect to a res, a few inches above the wb, (a 2" cube) where the big tube discharges, and the small tube passes RIGHT THROUGH that res, to be connected to the rad. the cube res would have an outlet.

The circle in the graph is a fin pattern.

pros: very little flow resistance

cons: heavy, tall, not flexible

The theory here is that better performance can be achieved with a higher flow, rather than trying to design an intricate channel and fin pattern. It also "steals" the corner masses, from the spiral block.
