There are battery relocation kits available. I put a second battery in my toolbox and theres a post on here if you search "battery box". A similar method can be used to put your main battery back there.
However, use much bigger cable -- 1 gauge or better. My battery is an auxilliary or "helper" battery so I got away with 4 gauge. That wouldn't work for a relocation, though.
I have no idea about the radiator, but I think you'll need longer hoses...
