Mount a crossflow radiator vertical?

[powerplant]

Is there any reason why I can't mount a crossflow radiator vertically?

I am proud to admit that I am a tightwad.... with that said.. most radiators are longer than they are tall. For my project I need it tall & somewhat narrow. This guy seams to say that it works.... any thoughts to this?

Aside from the fact that your cap will be on the side of the radiator, I don't see any problem. I am using a crossflow in my Dodge truck, and laying it almost flat in the bed. You could use something like the Moroso remote fill for the cap to put water in, etc.

I got one in my '51 Gasser. Works fine.
