Making the passage bigger and smooth as it appears is probably worst thing to do. At least from what I gathered about cooling principles. You want turbulent flow, very turbulent, to carry heat away. Hence the grooving on "ported" housings. Large surface is rather side effect than purpose. Otherwise just play with flow rate, this is most omitted part of whole system...
