l series, air cond and waic

Post by twilightprotege » Sun Jan 10, 2010 7:45 pm

what do people do to fit all 3 radiator cores in the front of an L? the radiator, waic heat exchanger and the a/c condensor? pics?

i assume custom brackets will be required one way or another. the only thing i can think of moving the a/c condensor as far forward as possible, move the radiator as far back as possible with the waic heat exchanger in the middle. just dont know what is the best way to go about it

I put my heat exchanger in front of the bonnet catch support. I think i had to cut a bit out of the bottom of it.

Here are some pics of my setup
