Volvo fan bracket kit pictures?

[Grimgrak]

Anyone got some pictures of the brackets/kit that sonomogtlover was making? I am trying to get some ideas to see how much closer to the engine I could mount the fan so i can get a big fat honkin 4 inch ic core up front.

Nothing spectacular but here

I was able to cram my 3" ic core in where the ac condensor was.. it fit perfectly between the radiator and the hood latch support..

I'd say with the ac condensor gone and cutting of the hood latch support you'd be able to keep the radiator in the oem spot and run your 4 inches.. you might have to pull the grill out a little bit but you won't know for sure until you mock it up.

Keeping the ac is critical. I wonder if anyone has even fit a 3.5 inch core in there? Possibly get a slimmer dual pass rad and have a seperate trans cooler and oil cooler where the old heat exchanger used to sit?

Don't know about the different rad etc.. but i've seen a few sy's with the grill mounting tabs shaved off and the grill pushed out a little bit.
