Did you remove the round tube that is shown infront of my IC or is your IC mounted infront of it?

Wow, that fills up the area! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png It sure hangs down a bit too much though. You'll probably hit it on something down the line and ruin your day. I'd hate to hear a "I busted the bottom of my intercooler off today" thread. Why did you use those big red straps to hold it in there? They block a lot of airflow. Could you mount it in there at more of a angle so it woulden't be so low to the ground? Anyways, it should keep the air cool either way https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Those strapes are 3/8 Flat bar steel from work.Its a weekend warrior anyways.Theres always a alternate route around speed bumps.Thanks god theres a handful of places with bumps and I know them well with my 83. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif The intercooler is like 28" long the core itself before the endtanks.Thats why its there.No real other way to mount the bastard.Suspension parts get in the way every other time.

No tabs welded onto the tanks to mount to?

Need some huge injectors now for it to haul.

Go to the ford dealer and get yourself a pair of 1650cc ford motorsport bosch injectors. p/n XL3Z 9F593 CA bosch p/n 280 150 839

Last summer they went for $80 a piece.
