Will the radiator be in the boot?

Doubt it with the fuel tank, but the original mini location looks remarkably….spacious

I’ve seen a couple of Honda Vtec conversions with a boot mounted rad..

The radiator and intercooler will be in the front (I hope) as there is a tiny bit of room for something. Maybe in the stock mini location for the radiator and two small intercoolers mounted like how they are originally in the abarth, with some ducting it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Wow just came across this thread as I'm currently attempting to put one of these engines into a mini for a customer. Amazing work so far will be watching closely from now on

After seeing this video of a fiat cinquecento with 595 engine on YouTube I can imagine the mini will be fast!

Would this not be a perfect candidate for a remote turbo installation?

Under the boot floor?
