    Put it in the ice chest is the best place with out the fan. Otherwise I have seen them under the rear of the cars with a fan on them. Upfront if you have room would be the best, but with the fan you have allot more options.

    Forgot you were not IC'd. :doh:

    Put it under the rear of the car, maybe make a little scoop to help direct air though it while driving. I think with the fan you should not have any problems.

    I put my cooler under the trunk floor with a fan, when I had the blower. I liked the idea any leaks would be between the tires and behind the tires. It worked great. I don't think the fan ever turned on. After a pass it was warm to the touch but not hot, so It should be ok if the converter is correct. It is almost the same amount of line. Make sure you think about a set of bars so put it where the top bar will not hit the cooler.

    Ok, then for sure put it in the back. Less parts to fix when it comes down. Hope the headers are up nice and tight.

    OK. **NOTE: This was still driven on the street when this picture was taken** **NOTE: A 427 with a F2 with no intercooler is no more or no less of a street car then what is pictured here**

    I was just busting his balls, most of the STL guys are street car this and that. If you put it under the rear, you dont have to worry about a convertor coming apart and cutting lines, or having a line break and putting fluid under the rear tires.
