I've already cut up the front portion of the engine bay where the radiator sits. This is to allow the vertical mounting of the new radiator and provide me with around 3-4 inches of extra room towards the bottom of the engine. For this specific setup it doesn't mean much but my future plans (unknown date) will require a little more room from the engine. This also causes me to move the oil cooler about 2-3 inches forward from its current position (maybe not that much) further increasing the available room. As for comparison to the H-mount setups I'm not entirely sure how I would run it on my application or the difference in cooling benefits would be.

Once the mounting is complete I'll also have the ability to step up to a larger core on the intercooler just by dropping the old one and putting in the new one. There should be ample room for the increase in volume from the new intercooler in the future.
