[V8Vairs] Successful Rear Radiator

   Interesting......................  I  would  be  interested  in  seeing  your "Paperwork".  Most  people  don't  wanna  do  the  R&D  necessary  to  make  it  work.  But ," if  we  can  put  a  man  on  the  moon,  we  can......................."

For a strong V8 (large amounts of heat to deal with) I'm convinced a rear position radiator will always leave you wanting. I've experimented with ducting, air dams, spoilers and channels while driving miles and miles with tattle tale yarn afixed all over my LM coupe. I've shot video of the yarn tests and the airflow paths and even have instrumented the car with several differential air pressure sensors. 
I know it is a lot harder to do than most people can imagine until you have tried it. If I ever move my mid-mounted radiator to a better spot I want it to work better than what I have now and not be another compromise.

   I  am  sure  it  can  be  made  to  work [but,you  just  can't,"PLOP" it  in  there]....  Because  you  are  working  at  the  rear  of  the  car, "aero"  is  not  on  your  side. Contact  me  directly , and  I  will  give  you  my  thinking  [if  U  are  interested ].

I know this has been discussed but I don't remember any definite solution.   
Has anybody had any real success with a rear radiator?  And when I say success, IMO electric fans are NOT needed while the car is in motion.  If you have such an engineering marvel, could you please post specifically what you have done to get air to flow through the rad while it is moving?   
As I contemplate what to do with my GTP powered Corsa, looking into the trunk area, a rear rad would be really easy.  The success of my front mounted rad Kelmark car tells me to stick with what I know and put it in the front.
