Sure. The main thing with a two pass is it puts the inlet and outlet on

If you plumb it backwards it most likely *won't* improve the cooling.  Be
certain to emphasize that the coolant passes through the back rad first,
then the front rad.

The only thing I am worried about is leaving your engine in the tent
over night.

You could always chain it to something at the tent that is difficult to
move, like a car or one of those big honkin' tent stakes that look like 2"
rebar.  Saves the trouble of moving it back and forth from the secure
location that Marcia might find.

Not the kind we are talking about Russell. At least I don't think that
is what Ed is building. Well maybe he is :) It was not the kind I was
talking 
about. Are you building a front and back for my talk Ed? If so NOW I
get
it :)
