    a radiator that would normaly cool the engine your trying to cool would flow approx.26-32 gallons per minute.not sure if you would need an extra pump.I would install a good temp gauge and go from there .as far as the position of the radiator I dont think it would matter alot as stated in the earlier post.as long as it has air moving across the fins.

    I agree with you guys, I think the long run alone will drop some heat and I can get the biggest radiator made back there. I might actually have the opposite problem, running too cool. That is a problem I will take though.

    Glad to see you guys agree that laying it down won't cause the radiator to only partially fill up. My opinion is that the pressure will insure it being filled at all times. I like the vent idea Ken, to bleed off air. The radiator will be sort of as high as the top of the engine, so that is where I could bleed it off.
