then added aluminum close out flange angles over that	cut the plywood back enough that I could fold the sheet metal up around it, this will protect the wood floor and add some rigidity.	squared up the opening and welded in new close out angles	after finally getting a satisfactory air test I installed slide in retainer angles for the new heavy duty filter
fans are as high as they can be and still be removable with the generator in place, I had to notch the corners of the shroud to allow clearance for the intercooler tube connections	trans cooler connections right at the frame rail level for easy routing	I came up with a mount/frame system that would allow me to drop the whole package out the bottom if I chose too but would also allow for just intercooler removal, or just fan removal from the top	I used some 5/8" fence wood to simulate the thickness of the fuel tank flange, this new intercooler flange with mount directly to the fuel tank flange. welds need work..
cooler corner version 3.0, I've cut out all of my first attempts and I'm going with a modular aluminum frame system	rear levelers moved aft, this doesn't have anything to do with the motor swap but I needed the real-estate they were occupying to install airbags, it also allowed me to get rid of the horrible workmanship of the RVS weld/fabrication/install the only thing good about what they did was that the welds had so little penetration that it didn't require much effort to cut them off..	finish weld and paint done on the transmission cross-member	finish welding and paint done on the new engine cross-member
