Default Setting up a new single turbo setup

So I blew up my LS1 (rod bolt) and am switching over to a turbo setup. It looks like on a few cars I have seen they remount the radiator so its completly vertical vs the stock setup. Looks like to do that you have to cut the core support out of the car. Does any company make an aftermaket core support, or do you just have to fab something up? The new motor will be a 408, so Ill be running something around a pt 80 and need to make room.
