Moving radiator to vertical position - lost the page with writeup too

I read somewhere about a guy who changed his radiator to an aftermarket radiator (I believe a Koyo or Fluidyne), and he made a custom setup so that the radiator was mounted vertically instead of on the ~30 degree angle it is on now. This I guess would make for better airflow, but would also leave a sheet metal "wall" through which you can pass 2.5" or maybe 3" or more piping through in two places.

Know what that means don't you? Cold air intake without cutting up anything, and FMIC without cutting the frame.

Not to mention good airflow to the radiator.

I know someone has seen this too, but I just don't know where. Anyone have any info on where I can find it, or what you think of doing it?

Go to the 1300cc website and click into his "My Custom Front End Project" link. I think it is Phase 4 where the CAI is shown. I'm going to be doing the same thing very soon as well.
