here it is I finally got it all mounted, but I'm not done yet thats why everything is kinda messy, the pipe from the throttle body cover to the piping isn't done being made yet so this will do for now.

I'm running a Be Cool radiator and a 12 rib pulley, look at how close it is.
I hope I don't throw a belt and ruin my $450 radiator.
any suggestions on where I should route my hose?

I would take the radiator to a radiator shop or specialty welding company and have them install a 90 in the upper neck.

simply beautiful Do you have stock zz4 internals? I have a zz4 and am gonna run a 9psi p600b - I wanna make sure I won't blow anything up!

it's a ZZ430 clone.
I put the HOT cam in it with the aluminum fastburns and blueprinted the combustion chambers so I have 10.2 in every cylinder.
I'm dying to get it running and on the road, so I can go smoke the trash talking nitrous injected cobras running around here.
But first I have to get my spohn subframes, torque arm, and trans crossmember on.
then I still have to tune it.

remember this looks closer than it is thats the way all of the following pictures are I assume. you can see that if we put the bigger belt pulleys here, I would just cut down the radiator inlet more. that piece of chrome pipe is a 1 1/4" x 6" piece of chromed/brass pipe. it is sold as an extention to the undersink drain trap at hardware store. it looks professional and clean, and keeps a bouncing belt from cutting the hose and a blown or thrown belt from ripping it off, it can get pretty violent at full boost, like this customized radiator holdown complete with cracks. I have even seen radiators taken out by errant belts.

or this in a combination of 90 degree welded on elbow

I say cut it and have it welded at an angle. It wont be the first time anyone has ever done it.

Looking good!
Keep us updated.

My brother has a Be-Cool Radiator, and a D-1 mounted the same way in his 88 Iroc, and we had the same problem. Take the top radiator rubber mounts from both sides, and cut the thick section that rests against the A/C condensor off until the radiator tilts towards the front of the car enough to get rid of the stainless strip that was included with the radiator, and mount it like stock. We still had to cut about 1/4" off the radiator snout, though. We've had no problems with the hose coming loose, and no cooling/A/C problems. Hope this helps.
