I had to dent in my ic pipe some so i could open the rad cap lol. hood shuts fine tho

how hard was it to get your rad and fans in past the engine thats were im at now trying to get all that crap in but anyways thanks for the pic it helps me out alot oh and your setup look really good to by the way!!!

your probably gonna need to run pusher fans.

I put my fans where the a/c condenser was, just trimmed them and stuffed them in. I was going to put them on the engine side but that would require me to trim the guards around the fans and the crank pulley might still be in the way because i dont know how much the blades would flex when they are on. The rad just drops in, and i used thick foam to make sure the fans blew all the air thru the rad. hope that helps, if i think about it i'll take a pic of where i cut for the i/c pipe

yup. and to the threadstarter, dont you think it would have been a good idea to research your questions before going and buying the IC piping and rad?

well i did i do have pusher fans with that say rad and intercooler setup i knew it would proably work but you never know how much room you got untill the engine is in the car and well i droped my engine in sat and lets just say its tighter than what i thought but i think it will work i think my only proablem know is im trying to run a/c with it so the condenser is in there to. Is there a smaller condenser i could use? I know yall r gonna say i should have taken it off but this car is most likley gonna be my daily driver so gotta have a/c.
