I'd like some guys to chime in on this one. I've ordered an aftermarket aluminum radiator with some push style fans. I was wondering if mounting the radiator at an angle (slanted from bottom to top as it gets closer to the cabin) will affect cooling capabilities drastically. I know it will affect it some, but I've seen some muscle cars do this. If you have knowledge about this, please post up.

If you are running a/c, I don't think pusher fans will fit in there. Is this why you want to lean it in? Are you driving a turbo car?

Yes. Please don't let my callsign throw you off. I have a 4g63. And I am not running A/C. I'd like to lean the radiator at an angle just to be sure that I'll have clearance. I will be fabbing up my own exhaust manifold, so I'd like to be sure that I'll have some room in there for my snail.
