Default Rear mounted radiators?

Thinking of mounting the rad in the boot as i struggling for room, and would make things alot easier running all the pipe work. Has anyone done this and does it work ok.
I was going to use 2 kenlowe fans and duct air in to the boot from vent ducts mounted into the rear quater windows and drill large holes in the rear panel to get the hot air out. Will this be enough or will i need and electric water pump.

Its a bit of a pain to get enough air....well more so airflow when rear mouting the rad. Popular in sweden, norway etc on the rally x type cars and often they fuck it up.

What car is it mate?
Cant you get a better deisgned one up front?
