Default Finally Mounted My FMIC
I got some work done today, I still need to finish the driver side piping. I also made the bracket for the intercooler, it cost me about $20 to make.

I have the same intercooler but on my 1994 z28. anyone else have problems with the intercooler hanging down? a inch of the bottom showing under the front clip? i guess i need to mount it like you did instead on to the top of the core support.

It is a tight fit getting the downpipe to fit I know that. Helps to have an aftermarket k member.

Do you plan on keeping ac or is that space reserved for the downpipe?
