I can think of a few reason why a rear radiator set up for a conversion would be a bad idea, but has anyone seen or heard of them being done successfully, maybe with ducting running out to vents infront of rear fenders and a custom shroud? Just curious.

I'm building one soon. If you don't find one by then you can look at mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Cons versus putting in front trunk: -Weight balance could be worse depending on what you want to do. -Poor shrouding or sucking hot air off the motor could lead to inadequate cooling. Pros -No water lines running to front. -Less overall water line length and therefore weight. -Better aerodynamics in the front end. |
