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.

Absolutely unrefined in every sense of the word but it made it all the way from MD to CA and back. We traveled through the desert together and got stuck in construction traffic. The car cooled well enough it didn't over heat. Attached image(s)
