He's talking about changing the position of the radiator so that it mounts straight up at 90*. The issue about mounting it in this position is that you have to make extra clearance for the condenser to fit, which usually involves cutting the upper front crossbrace and welding in new mounts.

I dont see enough room to keep it if you want to stand the rad straight up, I put a 1x1 tube in place of the stock rad support and bolted the stock hood latch support to it, I didnt change a thing on the hood latch I let that as is and went from there, the rad sitting tight up agenst there still isnt at a true 90 straight up and down, some people cut the hood latch support and dont put the 1x1 tube in there with that done it might be doable but I moved mine for room savings to work so therefor my whole AC system got ditched to.

Nice looking there lethal. I have plans to do something similar. I want to try and find a radiator that may be a little thicker but will just go inside the support and fit at a 90. Just have to custom fab up some supports.

I will see if I have some pics of my rad. and condensor that I put at 90*. all I had to do was cut the upper a/c line and have a shop add 6" to the line and the a/c worked properly.
