---- your hood up and have the hood latch thing not connected and just push it up to connect it to the hood... or else the top of the radiator cap is going to hit the hood....

just cut a little out of the radiator reinforcement on the bottom so it sits a little lower and make a custom mounting bracket for the top. It will still be kinda titled back but you will be able to keep your stock latch.

you can make it fit HMT style. lower the bottom brackets or make a longer bracket for the top and keep the radiator at an angle. 98ctr

I saw one that they used the passanger side stock bracket on top and just cut the bottom bracket out the length of the radiator then made custom brackets for the bottom. If you cut it out nice on the bottom you can make it look like it was ment to be there. Just go to the junk yard to find a stock bracket for the top driver side then you got it made.
