v mount question

hello all,
ok so i know this sounds dumb but please bare with me im still learning so any and all input is appreciated. i don't have 1500.00 for the cheaper v mount kit, so is it possible to use the factory radiator by putting the top of the radiator to lower front (toward bottom of bumper) and the bottom of radiator to upper rear (upper of cross member) and switching the radiator hoses with longer ones? and buying an inter cooler core and using different end tanks like a front mount inter cooler without side inlet and outlet and use a "make-shift" set up for the IC piping to fit?
like i said before is it even possible cus i have a drawing for a mock-up of how it would work but i don't know if its able to flow in that position.
thank you for taking the time to read this although its probably like nails on a chalk board haha
thanks again
Jessie

My V-mount cost me about $400 using a FMIC intercooler with the end tanks that don't exit sideways(if that makes sense), FAL electric fans, and a modified Mitsu Evo radiator. Rotary Works has a Vmount for around $1000 I think, and it's supposed to be really nice and complete. Still not exactly cheap, but $500 is $500.
