Default Larger radix intercooler exchanger

Just ordered today the 04-05 Cadilac CTS-V heat exchanger for my truck today. Hoping to just fab up some brackets, move the hoses and add coolant. Anyone else done this on similar truck? Any issues or advise? Thanks

I will definately do pics, but will be a couple weeks till it is here and installed. Don't forget mine is a HD, so it has a factory 1.5" or so body lift. This of course gives me more room and more air to get to heat exchanger.

Same width and thickness as normal radix exchanger, but double the height. Old one is 24x7x1/1/8" and new is 24x14x1/1/8". Slightly different hose barb configuration too, but whatever...
