there isn't much room, i was able to make a 3.5" core work with a modified factory grill. But after about 700 HP the intercooler was too restrictive. So now i don't run a grill with a 4" core intercooler.

You could modify the core support to move everything back a few inches and gain some room. Air to air is preferred on a street vehicle, the air to water would work but the intercooler portion is usually odd shaped and hard to position somewhere out of the way.

Few pics in my build thread, i don't believe i have the latest iteration in there.
