well you have the two places that the front radiation go on the thermostate housing and the other on the water pump where it normally goes then there are a couple other smaller bungs on the water pump and another on top the intake

I put my radiator in the back of my cherokee, its right behind my seat with two elec fans and a 160 thermostat. I do jot at this time have a sheild ob it but am going to put obe in soon. It does get warm inside the rig but i took the rear window out for ventilation. I also run an electric pump... puts out something like 44 gpm.
I WILL GET SOME PIX AND POST EM SOON FOR YOU GUYS.

here is how i ran my two radiators, your original front one hookes up like normal, top hose to the thermostat housing, and bottom to the water pump, now with a rear radiator, there is a taped hole next to the thermostat, i threaded a bung and hooked one hose for the rear radiator there and then there is a bung on the water pumo that i ran the other hose two,  then i used 1in heater hose and ran that down inside the frame rails to keep them from getting punchered, and drilled to wholes thru the floor and ran the hoses up into the back of the bronco to my second radiator

i got a question. why dont you just run your lower and upper hose to the back to a radiator and put a fan on it. that is how i did mine and i never had a problem. I used a stock pump and a two sticks of 1 1/2 muffler pipe and never had one problem. hell my s 10 never went above 180 with the fans on.
I had the full size thing it just bored me!!!<br /><br />The only people you need in your life are the ones who prove they need you in theirs<br /><br />Its all fun and games till someone gets knocked up, down or out

i run a stock pump to with no fan on the front radiator, and one on the rear and never get much hotter than 180 with a built big block so why change

Every engine cools different I had a stock small block in my bronco once and I couldn't run 5 minutes with out overheating buddies got a built big block in his truck only runs one radiator, never over heats, just gotta find the right set up for what you have and how much you beat on it
