Mount it vertically at a level between the middle and top of the radiator. You will also need the type of radiator cap that seals the very top of the opening so a vacuum will be created when it begins to cool down, and use an overflow hose that will not colapse when vacuum is applied. Initially the tank should have coolant in it so air is not sucked into the cooling system when it cools down.
