I'm not sure about the angle of the radiator, it might become less lying down.

This part of my site tells the whole story:

Greetings,
Gerrelt.

i put my rad in the extended rear baja cage and i,ve had no temperature problems at all but you can only do this with the back of the car removed
(yes the rad is upsidedown but it still works fine)

First I made a template with a cutout.

Then taped a bit of string so that showed the correct curve.
Then I sprayed, note the guide line on the template to get the spacing correct.

Next up the drill.

After using a jigsaw and a set of files.

Came out better than I expected.
