The Fan pushing air around the heater fins, that have water in them, that is pumped by the water pump, is moving that warmed air, regardless of where the radiator is mounted, as long as the engine is running at operating temperature, the heater cores will have the water that is in the motor, on FCs they are similar to some older large Cab over engine Semi trucks or a newer Corvette, they do have heaters that work. I agree with Dan, to purge the air bubbles, the puke tank or a vent plug need to be higher, look at your FC, look at where your radiator and heater is and look at at the elevation of where you have your radiator cap on your expansion tank.
