Made some really good progress on the v-mount this weekend largely thanks to the help of a good buddy.
Initial mock up of radiator.
Was hoping to use the factory cross brace, but it wouldn't work with the intercooler size I wanted so it and the mounts had to go.
Fabricated lower radiator mounts. Really happy with how these turned out.
Once the lower mount was done we moved on to the upper. Attached gusseted plates to the end tank, welded a tab on the frame rail and secured with vibration isolators.
Mocked up the intercooler. The box represents core and end tanks.
A view through the bumper.
I'm gonna run AC and figuring out what to do with the condenser was a huge PIA. We didn't get to the condenser mounts but the hard part of planning it out is done and we have a path forward. Stay tuned for more.
