Default Mikegyver, part 3, w/picture (lots of words)

http://homepage.mac.com/michaeldritz/PhotoAlbum4.html I'm at the point of making room for the intercooler. I'm going to put a big one on, so I decided to relocate the radiator and condenser. I refuse to be without A/C. To move them closer to the engine I'm installing electric fans. I bought two 16" Spal fans, rated at 2070 cfm each, and the Spal controller. I folded an aluminum shroud that only adds one inch between the fans and radiator. This post brings my series to the present, the next step is making something to hold the lower radiator and condenser supports. The top of the condenser will mount to the back of the core support, I just pried the mounting ears off of the condenser and reversed them. I think that I'll probably use a couple of pieces of 1 1/4" tubing and through bolts to stand the top radiator mounts away from the core support, maybe somebody has a better idea?
In order to move the radiator, I will need to relocate the computer. I found the perfect place because I had the battery out of the truck, that will be easy.
It took a little while to realize that I still need a battery. I haven't decided where to put it, definitley no room under the hood, with alcohol injection and all.
I'm guessing that this will be the last post in this series for quite a while, I just hope I finish before it gets too cold outside (no room in the garage).

No offense taken, JB. Maybe seeing average results obtained by an average guy will encourage others to take on their own project, instead of waiting for a kit that somebody is always claiming is "in the works".
Check out how ugly my computer-mount relocation bracket is in part 4.
