We're pulling Dons ProCharged 69 apart so it gave me a chance to do a quick mockup of the Ron Davis intercooler. With the standard grille it definitely fits and leaves a lot of the radiator un-covered which will eliminate any heating issues with the motor. The hood latch will work fine, but the support panel will have to be trimmed, pretty minor job. The intercooler outlets will have holes cut in the radiator support so it will be placed closer to the radiator support than in the pics. The only area I see that needs any other mods is at the inlets; there will be some trimming of the bumper backets, but nothing that should be an issue. Now I need to get some measurements to make sure it clears an RS front end. The headlights are further out on the RS which gives even more room, but the doors swing in and I'm not sure how much and how far.

As least it is a 69 and you can drive with the doors closed. We did some killer Cibi 4000' headlamps in one, and never had to open the doors. Saved a bunch of dollars on all the mechanisms.
It looks real nice, we may have to make a call to Ron

Looks like you will have quite a bit of the radiator open to air, but the intercooler looks to be halfway blocked by the valence panel, and then the bumper will be above that.

I think with some ducting or air diverters it'll be fine. Time will tell. The bottom is at about the same height as the bottom of the radiator.
