How wide is the space between the "frame" rails? I'm trying to figure out how wide of a radiator I can go with. Thanks.

A 27.5"x19" Griffen $189 twin core aluminum radiator from Summit Racing will fit. As well as a 2800cfm 16" fan if you are interested.

Sweeeeet. After looking at those pics of the horizontal intercooler setup, it got me thinking again. I plan on getting the 27x16" 2 row radiator and run a 27x8(or 10)" intercooler. With the radiator a little shorter than stock I should come up with more a > shape instead of a 7 shape. This way I should still be able to use a stock hood and get plenty of airflow in and out. It'd be nicer to have the 3 more inches, but either way, that radiator is still quite a bit larger than stock.

Just noticed that Howe also sells a double pass (similar to k2rd's that is 16.25"x27.5". Need to figure out how much that one costs. That would make running the hoses sooooooooo much easier.
