How are you guys mounting the paxton intercooler if you have headers? Seems the plate for the HEAT EXCHANGER :) is supposed to mount to the outside of the exhaust manifold and doesn't get over to the left enough to support it.

Notch the plate (steel) that supports the Heat-Exchanger, it's not an intercooler.

The steel is thick, take your time..:elefant:

That thing in front of the radiator, that's the intercooler..:aetsch:

I'm having the same dilema. Will be installing a set of Bassani headers and I need to figure out a way to modify the bracket. Dont want to mount on top of the intake.

Quick, would u mind snapping a couple of pics of ur bracket? I would greatly appreciate it. There's another member here Getusum, he's also trying to get me some pics. A few of us here will be going to a Paxton setup with headers, very soon. And this would be very helpful.
 
I have the Longtubes and this would be very helpful pics are much appreciated
 
can you tell me about the intercooler in front of your radiator...its not the little oil cooler one that comes with the kit.....what upgrade did you go with?
 
That's a custom one, made by DC performance. Go to frozenboost.com, they have some larger heat exchangers.

You won't be able to get the Bassani's without some major modifying and customizing.

If I'm not mistaken all of the long tubes will be ok with clearance. The only ones that have issues are the Bassani's

According to George, it's just minor knotching of the upper control arm. For what I got these headers for, I'll modify it. ;)

Here's another option for mounting a larger intercooler.

You will need to do that as well as fabbing up a new bracket for the water/air aftercooler (You might also need to relocate it cuz its going to be sitting a lot closer to the headers, and those thing give off a lot heat.)
