so today i decided i would cut some sheet metal <img border="0" alt="[Satan]" title="" src="graemlins/satan.gif" /> and make way for the ford intercooler for the 7m motor. i have a few questions about how to go about and brace the front end. i had to cut the front body mounts to make room for the intercooler to fit in under the hood. and in for the bumper and such. <img src="http://members.aol.com/evileyzclothing/images/frontminusbm.jpg" alt=" - " />

in the red is where i cut. i don't think i will have use of my hood latch unless i can fab somethign up. i don't think there is room. so i will probably end of using hood pins
:\

i'm thinking there will be enough room to mount the to push fans i have on the front of the intercooler and still modify my grill to fit back on.

what do you think i should do about front body support.

thanks ryan also here is the site with some more pictures.
