They are out there, but they all charge money if they are any good and going to stay around, but it's not ridiculous photobucket type charges. Like $5/month. Imageshack is one.
I went a little different route with my rad. I used the typical vertical summit style rad at first but I wanted to upgrade my cooling system and I ended up switching up quite a bit to make more room. This is on my NA car. I did it on this one first but I'll be finishing it up on my Procharged car soon. I just wanted to see how everything would work first. I still need to finish the coolant tubing. I'm just waiting on a few pieces to come back.
The condenser still fits in the same spot. I put a couple of pieces of weather stripping between the radiator and cond., and between the cond. and new cross member. I made 2 brackets to sandwich the cond. and radiator to the cross member. Attachment 623311
Hey did you use the same griffin rad everyone else used ? And also I see you relocated the AC dryer ? Thanks in advance .
Here is mine. This would not work for the front turbo's, but is ok for other applications. I found this used radiator on the internet. Fits perfect between the frame rails. Don't have to cut the front support. I fabbed a cross support that the radiator sits in. It had aluminum mounting studs on the bottom (and top) so I used some rubber donuts on the bottom and a couple of steel straps with rubber grommets for the top. The top tube was on the wrong side, but that's what cutters and hose adapters for. It has dual Spal fans and still clears the water pump on a truck style accessory setup. Need more hoses

What was the reason for doing this with a blower setup?
Couldn't you have just left it in the factory location and saved yourself a bunch of work?
I'm still wondering if I can make something work where I have a puller fan. Just don't like the idea of pushers, and I want to do a junkyard crawl and find a PWM fan to install to save myself some cash.

If you push the radiator farther forward in the nose you can make them fit.
I've seen plenty of guys put the radiator in front of the core support to fit puller fans, it just gets a little tight with an A2A in there too.
I've got twin pushers on my stood-up radiator setup now and have no issues controlling temps.
