relocating radiator...

would there be any problems with telocating the radiator into the front bumper? im not trying to look like i have a front mount or anything i just need to open up more engine bay space for a dual intake idea of mine. and it you had an e-fan it seems like you'd get better cooling. i may be wrong, it just seems like thers a lot of wasted space up there...

That wasted space is part of the crumple zone. If you aren't running ac, you might concider mounting the electric fan in front as a pusher, with proper ducting and shroud of course.

This is realy pointless and will cause alot of hassle and headaches for you! There is no need to "cool betor" if you are not reaching your cars cooling capacity. It offers nothing but more of a drain on the motor.

If you want to move it up there and fab it all up then yes you sure can do it!

you may have to cut alot of stuff, also you may need a custom radiator for it to fit, depending on how far you want it forward. You will also need to think about running piping for it
