An idea of mine

Thats not having the radiator in the chain but letting water find its own level through the heatercore. Like this.

Can even chain more than 1 radiator thru 2 reservoirs in addition to the present radiator you are using. Maybe even saw off two end tanks and gooping the two ends to the 2 res.
So you can use more than 1 rad without extra pump and not affecting flow rate.
Do you think it'll work?

The water would still be under pressure, unless the two tanks had open tops correct?

So the flow would be the same regardless of the position of the radiator.

Put the two rads in parallel and you'll actually increase flow a little. Not to mention improve cooling considerably.

wouldn't it be best to have the heatercore intake at the bottom of the first tank, so it gets the coolest water, same with the line to the pump, have it as low as possible to get the coolest water out

But I was thinkin if the water from the block goes into the hot tank without the tubing going under the water level, why would there be any resistance from water pressure? It would just behave like a pump pumping water thru a block and thats it, no resistance from the radiator in the chain. The water would just overflow into the cold tank by itself.
