I have a clutch fan on the motor, and an elec. pusher, so I couldn't mount to the rad. I apologize for the crappy pic, and your grille support might be different, but I just hung it from the grille support, then made a brace to support the bottom.

Nothing wrong with it in the rear if it gets air... yours has a fan... that plenty fine... is the fan on a thermo switch.... IF my Rampage needs more cooler I'm gonna put 1 or 2 more in series in the back with a fan.. but testing is needed(soon to come)

yes it has a thermoswitch on the *in* side wired to the bat.
Cool.... IF I need more cooling I'll test to see if a air deflector will work or a fan... if I go with a fan it will have a thermo switch on it

I have clutch fan on my engine as well...does this mean that the cooler will not work properly in front of the rad?

It doesnt mean it wont work BUT you might be blocking off needed air flow to the radiator.. thats dependent on how close your radiator is to being maxed out
well my rad is pretty big. Its not an a-body rad, but one that I got out of a late 80's 318 fifth avenue, a little trimming and it fits...shroud and fan from it too...Even on hot days sitting in traffic, my temps never get over 195 according to my mechanical gauge.
Also, I have about close to 2" between the cooler and the rad where I have mounted it (it is mounted off of the hood latch support)

No, it just means I did not have any room to mount directly in front of the rad, haha.
I am planning on putting a trans temp gauge in this season, as I am worried the cooler doesn't get sufficient airflow at low speed, IE in pits, staging, etc. without having a fan pulling the air through

I am tucking the trans cooler behind the grill of the Valiant.
