The front is setup so that all the cooling apparatus fits across the front with equal access to air. First question is, why? Do you intend to get rid of the A/C condenser, trans and PS coolers as well?

My trans cooler is mounted in the box of the truck and removing the Ac

Haven't quite done what you are asking, but installed a all aluminum BBC radiator using adapter plates. I'm still a little short in cooling IMO and will have a custom radiator built next. My radiator is like a module unit that includes the HD trans cooler, PS cooler and efan as a package. The intercooler heat exchanger is behind the front bumper with it's own efan. It cools ok under normal driving but warms up under heavy boost.

Have fun with that, your truck is designed to use the AC compressor when you kick on the defroster lol...I'm willing to bet where you're located that gets use quite a bit....
So you routed your trans cooler to the bed? Why lol? You need to post a pic of that lol.

I wanted to use the diesel rads just cause I have a bunch of smashed trucks with good rads and they would pop right In and fit in the oem location I’m also going to run electric fans it’s a little. Big of a rad why I was wondering if any one has done it and then I can use the oem intercooler and it would fit perfectly I don’t have a battery or inner fenders under the hood so I have lots of room to run the piping

Pictures would be good to see. While the diesel stuff would do the job they may be a little on the heavy side for a max effort drag truck..
