it will be very tight if removable front then can be done but if fixed and also using the fixed van grill i think it will be too tight.

Im guessing you may but it would be ultra tight!Ive got a flip front and it looks really close. Why not get an ally side rad? Thats what im running and no heat issues at all

i would like to go front mounted rad because this engine will be an animal im hoping, after havin the pleasure of working at minispeed lol you have all heard what there like, i will say one good thing about them, the engine room boys are geniuses, alex myall who used to race mini 7 sponsered by minispeed is a legend.not forgeting ian who is equally as good as what he dose and knows
he has told me what is worth doin and what is not.
my engine will a+ 1293 with a alex myall concept 36 head special jobby.
iasa forged pistons with 16cc dish
a wedged turbo crank
sum innocenti rods witch weigh in at 580 grams each.
a swifty dog box and of corse straight cut drops.
with a supercharger and new mini sized crank pulley.
i think thats everything lol
