No problem... in a 1970 Monte Carlo.

And so the Evil Aviator broken record begins...

... The 20B swap isn't a kit from Nopi, it is a custom process. How you do it is up to you. There are no standard solutions to the many issues involved. While there may be some "wrong" answers, the number of "right" answers is limited only by your imagination (and your bank account, lol).

My recommendation is that you strip whichever car you are considering for the V-mount intercooler, record measurements with a tape measure, and then figure out what you want to put where. Then make cardboard mock-ups to make sure that everything fits before you order expensive intercoolers, radiators, or other components. Don't forget to take into account the plumbing. In the hotrod tradition, you will most assuredly make some mistakes and/or change your mind, but at least you can minimize this by taking some time to plan the project.

1) Use a REALLY small intercooler.
2) Mount the radiator and intercooler in a V-configuration remotely in the rear of the car.
3) Mount the engine WAY back, maybe even in the rear of the car.
4) Mount the engine transversely.
5) Extend the front end.
6) Modify the front end and add a large hood bulge to the front of the hood.

I could go on and on.
