Any bed mounted radiators?

[Billywonka]

Anyone with a Sy running a rear mounted radiator similar to what Lingefelter did or the Syborg Sy?
If so what kind of issues did you run into?
or is it that current intercooler / radiator tech doesn't require that much room and both can be mounted up front? Example, I don't see Mr Syclone running a rear mounted radiator..

Re: Any bed mounted radiators?

most of the time radiator intercooler tech is good enough for it to be up front. the only reason most people do it now is to allow room for forward facing turbos, drysump tanks, water tanks and on and on. On my race car when it was still streetable I had a radiator laid down flat in the front due to large turbo,5 inch down pipe,big intercooler, and dry sump. other than just plain room needed I would stick with front mount radiator and intercooler.
