ofi radiator mount i have just the rad from ofi and am building my own truck mani kit. i assume that you unbolt the little braces at the top of either side of the radiator support and hang the radiator from them, after they are in place and rebolted up. are you guys going in from bumper side or engine side of the support for install? also with a gt 47 88 turbo or a turbo of similar weight are you guys just relying on the cross over pipes to support the weight... or adding some braceing. also am i cracked or why cant i find the headlifting threads with good info... any links, or has some new fix came up in the last six months since i researched it? im going, iron block, gm five layers and arp 2000 studs with extra ft lbs and retourqe after heat cycle, seemed to be the most reasonable last i checked
Extensions that come off the alternator bolts on one side, a bracket that mounts where the a/c compressor was on the other. From there round bar up to the turbo, it creates a cradle that supports the turbo.

what year of car?
i know in my 94 camaro, i had to tear off the hole fron end, cut the lip out of the upper rad support and bend the tab on the lower rad support down flat
then i had to drill holes threw the brackets that held on the head lights (1994 camaro here) to mount the rad into them, even then the head light brackets took some T.L.C with a B.F.H to clear the brackets, i think i have some pictures some wheres
