Default 92 radiator in an 89

obviously this has been done many times, but i am going to have to use a 92 radiator for turbo clearance, just trying to get some feedback on it, will i be better off to lean the top back and make custom top brackets, or to cut a chunck of the cross member out and build custom lower brackets are there any "how to's" on this posted anywhere?

no way, the radiator filled up cant be more than 5 lbs, it would take more than that to bust 4 zip ties, the only thing i could see happening is they might melt, and even then i doubt it would melt all 4

Tie wraps are the ----. At one point in time the front end of my daily driver was almost completely hold togheter with it. Makes easy and fast dismanteling though.



See that yellow grip, with that you can take out my engine in about 5 minutes

I supported mine with the upper and lower radiator hoses.
