A2W can go anywhere you have room.
Can go flat under core support pretty easy.

that was my original thought. do you have any pics? how big is it?

also i was thinking about getting a 4.8L radiator and fans and mounting them where the spare tire goes. should i mount it flat and parrellel to the body or angle it just a tad? wondering if there is enough airflow that mounting it at a slight angle would be helpfull or it would just be better off mounting it flat. if i did mount it flat would it catch air underneath? seems like mounting it at a slight angle would at least keep wind from catching it and pulling down on it as speed.

Ive had two different set ups in between the crank and fans. The current one now with twins and a high end intercooler, and the old one with a cheapo.

The cheapie was a 11/4/8 inch core, the new one is big lol.

the new one.

That looks nice bowtie, are you planning to run a heat exchanger with the intercooler?
