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.

Add 2 good fans and that will work fine for an HX.
Route through the heater core and even better.

No quick connects kill flow.
Just loop the two heater hoses in the summer time.
But the heater core thing is more for all out cooling.
I think with a large enough HX no need for heater.

now i need to figure out how to do the routing of th hoses and placement of the pump and resevoir. so the heat exchanger will be in the back behind the axle. then either put the res up by the one for the engine. or mount the batt back there too and mount the res right there. if i did that i could mount the pump right below it and then to the intercooler and back to the H/E. question is, can the pump push the water through the IC then all the way back through the HE back to the front and up to the res?

Depends on the pump.
You want the water to gravity feed to the pump.
As straight as possible.
I have had customers that use 2 cheap eBay pumps before.
You want the water to flow as fast as possible for best results.
