Anyone LS swap with the stock RX7 Rad Location? (FC)

Swapping a 4.8L LS with a GT40R turbo into my 1991 RX7, I see most people go with a full upright rad setup. It this necessary? Wondering about space and cooling capacity. Current rotary setup is with a Koyo aluminum rad. I know the upper rad inlet exits downwards, but I can cut and weld that if needed.

Thanks!

You may be able to re-use your radiator in a laid forward capacity. Search for LargeOrangeFont's build on norotors for pics.

Almost positive that you can, but like ronin mentioned it needs to be tilted

Also, if I go low mount with my alternator on the truck 4.8, does the stock crank pulley work in the chassis? For some reason I thought I read somewhere to use f body stuff.
