Ok so I attempted this install and actaully happy with the results after 1 month of fighting it. I still need to make the brackets for it

When I installed I decided to remove the ac condenser because I am planning on a forward facing setup. if you plan on keeping the ac condenser here is an idea I thought of to hold the radiator with brackets

-Also the radiator can sit up a bit the hood will not close on it and cause damage there is alot of room. I would say it can raise up 1"from the level of the rediator support

Problems you will face

1. -You need an evo 6 top radiator hose and the stock lower is fine
2. -You need to drill a hole in the radiator support to place you bracket on the support to hold the radiator
3. -You will also need to make a bracket for the lower part of the radiator to actually hold it otherwise it will lean to the side, the hose will rest on the mount and eventually will get damaged from moving all over the place.
4. -The lower radiator hose will rest on the front motor mount

When I removed the ac condensor I placed the radiator in the ac condenser hole to support it.

***So my suggestion is before doing this install plan on making a lower radiator support bracket to keep it in place and raise the radiator up a tad to prevent the hose from resting on the mount.***

I plan on welding to L shape brackets with a hole at the end to support the brakcet and push it away from the core a bit for the ac condenser
"incase I sell it and put back the ac condensor if no one wants it the way it is"

I will post pictures of my install later today and see my progress
