They usually lean the rad back about 45* and mount the intercooler above it between the rad and rad support. You then need to duct it to direct airflow.

Everyone has a different way to do a v-mount. i've seen a setup with the rad almost completely horizontal. Again, search for ideas, many have done it with success.

You are going to have to find someone who is decent at welding to weld brackets for you.

I'd try duct tape and hot glue first. If those fail, try brackets.

Weld brackets off the back of the intercooler and bolt the rad to the intercooler.
