ive mounted many rad. in the back of cars and if done right it it the way to go

What are some things I need to know to do it right.

make sure the radiator is as big as you can install, put as big of fans on as possible,( i run spals on everything), the system must run as a pressure system, min cap is a 22 to 24 lbs.it helps if the top of the radiator is above the highest part of the engine,on the top most part of the engine you must run a bleeder to get all air out and run one on the top most part of the radiator, run a thermostat on the engine, and i always run a expansion tank above the radiator with the cap on it. hope this helps you out. barry

If you go with the rear choice remember this, the recovery tank has to be higher than the top of the radiator or you will get air bubbles/pockets in your system that will
cause overheating and cavitating. I have done it and if done right shouldnt be an issue.
