IMO you're still better off with electric. Less noise when not needed, better
fuel mileage, and better cooling at idle.

I was more worried about frame flex being transmitted to the radiator, so I
installed longer bolts with coil springs under the heads.

One popular place is on the apron below the grill. Of course that means you're
cutting a window in some expensive sheet metal.
