Big Block Drift Truck - Pic Heavy

Its 3 inches higher than the front of the engine, and I'll be using an additional inline coolant fill point at the front of the engine on the hotside to get the air out of the lines

Nice, I had problems with mine in my buggy because the coolant lines were part of the chassis so I had some air bubbles that got stuck in low points. Packaging it is a lot easier but I found the rear radiator to be a pain for my application

Supposedly, pulling a vacuum and filling the system, using the vacuum draws all the air bubbles out.

It didn't seem to work on the girlfriend's 2014 Escape, but it also wasn't holding steady on the vacuum. I'm pretty sure it still has a leak somewhere I didn't see one. I still had to burp the system.

rear mount radiators do make things abit more complicated but it does look cool! and im trying to get a 50/50 weight balance when finished.

as long as the motor doesnt overheat im not going to worry about getting every last air bubble out of the system
