Problem with cooling with rear mounted radiator in a sedan type body.

I say lots.

yeah, that's gonna be one of the more difficult cooling setups... maybe.  do you have anymore details?

also, I don't think I realized you were in Johnstown

What was watercooled and rear engine ?

Renaults ,  Sunbeam Imps , Skoda ,  Fiat 600 + 850 ,  and  911 Porsche starting in 1999....

Ummm VW Vanagons , later Mexican and Brazilian bay window buses ......

Probably a few more...... and mid engine models if that counts..........

I've seen an MR2 ice racer with rad mounted in the frunk,no issues in the winter at least.

 

 My bike engined geo had the rad inside the engine box,it was fine with dedicated ducting to it and place for the air to go from it.

 Being willing to cut holes is going to be the key to success :)
