Sure, just move it to where you want it, and re plumb it. I college we put the radiator on the roof of an exploder and set up a passive cooling system run up the 'A' pillar.

yep, a lot of mud trucks run the radiator in the rear because it stays cleaner. a lot of rock buggies run it in the rear for space and visibility reasons. you will need an electric fan to keep it cool though and ive seen some have trouble 'burping' the air out depending on how much plumbing you have and how zig-zagged it gets

edit: make sure your water pump is in good condition as well. you may need to run an inline water pump depending on once again, how much plumbing you have.
