If you measure from the bottom radiator outlet to the engine inlet, it is only about 16 inches vertical anyways. There's also plenty of crap in the way like fan shroud, AC line, intake pipe(absolutely no way with stock airbox), AC compressor pulley. There's really not much room at all to do it vertically. There is a small chance it could work if I hack up the coolant flanges and weld some tight radius Aluminum elbows directly to them. Still thinking about this...

Also I just ordered some new AN Female to Male 90 degree fittings(didn't think to look for that until just now) in place of 90 degree hose ends, these should make the overall assembly much less wide.

Don't know what I was thinking initially. Was changing out my radiator today and can definitely see I was on something after seeing the limited room.
