cooling issue

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and have a question for all you dodge lovers in hopes that I can complete my project. I will start with what I'm going to be doing and go from there. This may sound a little crazy seen as it's mostly a chevy ordeal. (chastize me later) I am thinking about dropping a chevy 350 into a 95 Geo tracker but will have the issue of cooling it down. I really didn't want to relocate the radiator to the rear because this will take up all of the trunk space, well what little space there is anyway but would also be a little hotter in the summer but wouldn't have to use the heater in the winter. So what I was thinking was that I vagely remember seeing a 3 radiator setup in a Dodge V10 and was wondering if I was seeing things or if this was a custom job. This would have been years ago but I know it was the style that the front grille opened with the hood. If this was true would the smaller radiators that were on the sides of the engine bay be able to keep the engine cool if I used 2 with electric fans or maybe even 1. Or should I resort to about 10 motorcycle radiators. I know I'm crazy for thinking this but I'm all about going fast and having the power when I need it. It'll probably be a mud bogger only if I ever get it done. I'm trying to make this as much of a "sleeper" as possible. Thanks everyone for your patience on my novel, and any info would be great.

just find a S-10 with a 4.3 V6 and take the radiator out of that. I had a 400 small block in mine with a ford taurus electric fan and it worked great.
