Re: Project Screamer - '72 GMC K2500 + DD 4-53T

The intercooler is in! I have modified the brackets to bring the intercooler closer to the radiator and to move the condenser down a couple of inches. After the modifications, the hood latch clears the condenser.

First, I had to make some cutouts in the core support. I was going to have to do this anyway to make a pass through for the tubing from the turbo and to the blower. Since I needed to move the intercooler back, the nozzles interfered with the core support.

I had to cut some of the structure of the core support out. I will reinforce it later.

Here are the completed brackets on the table:

The elbows for my intercooler tubing are on back order, so I will be working on the brace for the hood latch and reinforcing the core support next.
