With the radiator in the back I'd be worried about airflow, how are you going to get air back there?

I'm sure you can fab up a low mount alternator bracket, and a low rise intake would clear the hood wouldn't it? Hate to see that thing looking like a 4x4!!!
Make sure you're gathering plenty of air and forcing it through the radiator if your doing rear mount. I'd suggest aluminum as well to make it as efficient as possible. On the good side the motor is going to be laughing at how much weight your asking it to lug around! Jason

Haha, tell me about it. True Volk, the car is fairly light even as it is now. When I moved it this weekend the car rolled on the trailer with no problems whatsoever.
I've decided I'm going to make a cowl induction hood. Possibly even get a 2" air filter to replace the 3". I don't want to cowl too high. I'm sure it'll all work out. Good new is I'm not going to raise the body and it will stay as is. Here's some pics from the move.      Here's a couple pics of us moving it and securing her down. That's my old man, the bald guy is my half uncle, and the boy is his son.
