radiator for 460 in bed of pickup

I am going to put a second radiator in the back of my highboy for the 460. I have one sitting around so i thought i would put it to use since the 360 radiator might not be enough. I was wondering if anyone else has done this or if somebody could give me a little advice on an easy way to do this, like what hoses i will need to run and what would be the easiest rout to the motor. Thanks for any input.

If you do a search in the off-road forum you will find I have covered this topic extensively...it will have all the info you need. You can also look in my gallery at pics of mine. Mind you, you are talking about running a rear mount radiator, not two are you...?

I was pondering the idea of using two radiators...is there a problem with this? If it is a hassle to put 2 radiators in i will just mount it in the back.

I would just use a single four core in the rear with a good electric fan setup. If I can keep my motor cool with this setup you can too...

Just out of curiousity....my rads in the rear because I do competition mud bogging/dragging....why are you planning on this?

I looked at the offroad forum but did not see anything about rear mounted radiators. How do you have yours setup? I do mudbogs and mudracing in South Dakota and Nebraskas mudracing circuit. The website is www.msmra.com

type in radiator or rear mount. I explained how to do it in depth several times over there, and answered many technical questions. Not trying to be rude, I just think you'd be better served by looking up those threads...they are only a couple of months old.
