If you need stainless exhaust manifold studs a set from Amazon for a V10 Ford are cheap
So much room for activities
Even should be able to use the inner fenders with some shielding

Unfortunately the AN fitting on the timing cover will not work as I plan to keep AC and it points right at the AC compressor mount if I use the stock on, may have to mod the mount or create a new one, I'll find out when I pull it off to install a new Melling oil pump I also picked up.
I had a brand new large AC condenser and picked up a radiator from Summit Racing. Made some mounts for the condenser and welded them on so it's a bolt on affair, couple rubber isolators for the radiator on the bottom and it's good. Top will get a mount/holder fabbed after everything is located to close out the top.
Now I have to cram this in there.
Should be enough room, maybe
Have to build the mounts to make this work
Needed a crossbar for the top mount and some brackets and a quick dig through the parts stash I have some poly handlebar mounts for a Harley that just happen to fit over the mounting bungs on the Intercooler. Cut, heat, beat, and drill, add some Nutserts to the tubing and voila!

Okay, just seeing this. Reviewing the last two pages, will do the rest when I'm home, I have some questions/comments. You're my hero with the core support. I'm looking to do the exact same thing this winter - did you buy that or fabricate it? Is it 1" DOM?
What turbo? Looks smallish. Turbo's are like vacation time - when your boss asks if you'd like an extra week of paid vacation this year, the answer is defined by more is better - same applies to turbo's. Hehe.
I'm sure I'll have some more after reviewing the first 20 some pages. Glad to see you getting back to it.
