It can be mounted anywhere you want as long as there is enough air flow to keep it cool.
i have seen them mounted in all kinds of unusual places.
You would have to use hard tubing. That would be a pain to route sort of like exhaust times two. then keeping the radiator tubing from the exhaust heat.
It could be done but it would be a challenge.

P.S. what in taking up so much space in front?
I have seen blown hemi 33' willys coupes with radiators in front. so you must be doing something wild!:metal:

I forgot there would also need to be some sort of air routed through the radiator to keep cool at speed, scoops ducts or a combination. oh yeah, the extra weight of the coolant could be a problem.
