Yard stick sitting in top of the frame.
My current intercooler sits 2in below that and has some wiggle room. This pic was taken when i was installing everything. You can see my old turbo intercooler.

I've found regardless of heat exchangers you can't keep IATS from climbing a bit at idle. Even with well water pumping through. There isn't enough airflow at idle to cool the air passing over the intercooler. Even just putting mine in gear will make my IATS start dropping.

So after talking to the guy that is gonna build it and looking at possible mounting places the size changed some. He also mentioned how i should have the feed and return setup for better flow.
I will be going with a 30x16x2.25. Basically it will span the entire width of the grille opening and sit about 1in above the frame rails.
I am gonna draw it up and have it built. He said it was a 2 week lead time.

That sounds like a really good size that will be easy to fit. I like it!
