I'm installing my vortech kit on tuesday and looking to upgrade the radiator soon. Looking forward to see if it will fit as well!

I dont have a vortech but have a koyo. The distance from the back of the rad to the motor doesnts change so you will be fine. It does push the ac condensor forward alittle bit though.

What was the end result of your install @ft86me ?

I am interested in getting a bigger radiator as part of my build

So no issue in back of the rad, but is there enough room in front for the Vortech intercooler? How much forward is it pushed? Sounds like it's negligible enough for the intercooler, but I wonder if the intercooler and an oil cooler will still fit without issue...

It fits, the condenser line/bolt is close to the intercooler but it fits.
I have Koyo Rad, Vortech, and Perrin Oil Coooler installed.

Awesome - any chance you have a picture that shows all three in place from a side view?

I have about 40 hours of video to sort through but this is what I was able to dig up for now.
I pointed arrows where the condensor bolt line are close to intercooler.

With the supplied self tapping screws Vortech gives and the how tight the clearance is, you need two people to mount this intercooler.
It was a major pain in the ass to do, took over an hour just to complete that step.

Yes working on it now. Its a ton of editing should be out in a week or two at the latest, working on Perrin to work on some tuning issues before I release it.
