Oh yeah! It is a tight one. I should have mentioned I posted the pics to show the space constraints I was working with. Finding a rad/fan combo to fit and build around was a nightmare. I had to modify it quite a bit also. Luckily I can weld aluminum. That crossover will need to be ceramic coated and probably wrapped as well to not damage the belt and fan. I also don’t love how the charge pipe is so close if you see the t-bolt clamp in the second last pic. Im trying to change that up some to gain an inch or so. ---

Great man. I see the WG flange on the cross over, do u have another one for the passenger side? Is that a 44/46mm flange? ---
