Default Relocating Radiator and Compressor
Currently in the middle of redoing my twin kit... (the last kit had terrible manifolds and kept burning plug wires) and I was wondering if anyone has ever relocated their radiator and compressor in order to make piping in a grill mounted intercooler easier... pics would be awesome if you have 'em.

I moved my radiator back and installed electric fans. I will look for the pics on my other computer when I can get up off the couch.

I made brackets that bolt to the frame that the rubbers in the bottom of the radiator sit in, and spacers that the ears on top of the radiator bolt to.

This gave me room for a 4" intercooler
