I am using a air bleeder valve at the top point of the engine/neck, then also an expansion tank in the back connected to the top of the radiator and the return line in order to constantly bleed the system.
I have already finished this project so I am just waiting for a sunny day to take some pictures and post them.

Cool stuff dude. I see you have the fan for pulling the air through the read from the back. How are you getting through flow. do you have any ducting in there at all allowing fresh air over the fins of are you just using the ambient air from in the car?
Good job.
Good job.

Honestly my biggest concern is that I build a proper system where I won't have any bleeding issues and there will be no air pockets.
I think you would change your mind if you were there in person hehe.
Yes, I haven't bolted mine up yet, but it would just connect to the neck of the expansion tank.

Here are a few more photos of the front-end. I have also added (second photo) a fan on the intercooler as well since it's a 4" core now. I really hope that this year I will have good water, oil, and air temps while drifting in 90 degree weather. I guess I won't find out for another few months

I also have a water spraying system installed to spray the IC using the old washer fluid/motor mounted behind the passenger seat. I will try to take some photos of it sometime this week.

Yeah that is my plan for when I make 600rwhp+, until then I wanted to make sure my cooling setup for drifting was rock solid. There is also another great benefit of a rear mounted radiator, which is better weight distribution, lower temps in the engine bay and cleaner engine bay.
