Thanks for the pics Red16. Did you put any special thought into the end tanks? I will only have room for 2 coolers.

That's basically it really, no special thought or planning, made the end caps from 100mm aluminium box section which i had access to at work.

the effectivness of an intercooler is down to the quality of the core, people use 4x4 coolers as the OE cores used by Ford were very good (were they behr??)
the cheap ebay jobbies will fit, but wont cool anywhere near as efficiently

I would not do this, I've seen one of these home made coolers at the the welders after it had popped it's end caps............looked like it would damage your rad and anything else in close range. Might have been someone off here, was from a time attack saff.
