anyways just idea at the extreme.

Thats the plan on mine . My radiator is kind of big with 2 big fans . Its aluminum but heavy so I want it in the rear. I dont think drawing air will be that big of a deal because of the size of the fans. Alot of the turbo street cars run a smaller radiator in the rear and drive on the street. Wont be problem with rules , drag radial guys are doing it. I will have an aluminum bed cover , thinkin it need louvers to get hot air out also.
