Default anyone have radiator mounting pics?

Im ditching my stocker and getting a aluminum one to mount upright. Anyone have pics of how they modded the core support to make it fit? I dont want to cut it all out and figure out how to put a tubular front end on, just want to mod. my stock stuff to make it fit. Maybe go narrower or shorter to fit in there?? Heres what im working with now.......

^^^ thats not a bad idea, get a short one that fits under the upper support and weld tabs to mount in front of it. Then sit in the lower support. Hummmm......... thanks!

great examples!!! I wonder about this as well as the LT motors have the reverse cooling and the lower fitting where the water goes to the head (lower drivers side). does this universal radiator have this attachment already? If not, how do you get flow to the head?

A few more if your still looking. Mine matches the factory angle for class reasons as well as for making room for the intercooler piping to come up under the core support.....here's a few pics
