Radiator?

[lay]

Up front or in the rear what y'all think? Gona run a built 5.3

Up front if it fits, in the rear for a better point of view (usually a tight fit). :****:

 

[Travis]

Up front if it fits and will keep it cool enough, in the rear otherwise. :****:

Fixed.

Hard to fit a 31, or 33 x 19 in the front of a somewhat compact buggy.

Depends on how much room you have. If you can fit a 24 or 26 x19 up front then it will probably be ok. If not but a big radiator with dual fans in the rear. For a trail rig I would put it low behind the seats so you could still see out the back

In the rear. Don't forget the purge valve on the thermostat housing. I will be running a huge 3 pass 2 core in the rear of mine with twins 5500 cfm. If I were you with the build your getting I would run rear without a doubt. I used to be against it, but was forced to make it work for my 454. It worked sweet. Never above 190. Ran at 160-180 all the time. Hooked the fans into my F.A.S.T CPU and it worked flawlessly. I was very happy with the result. The only bad part was the cost of the fans and radiator and the aluminum fab work to mate the 2 together. All well worth it though! Good luck!
