The intercooler is something I picked up off of ebay . You can follow the install and such starting back on PAGE 8. I think most of the pics are still working.
No cutting to mount this one. I had a old Volvo front mount IC installed before this one, and I had to do a little cutting for that one.
This car has never had (working) AC in the almost 30 years that I've had it. I'm sure I could make a condenser work in here if I needed to, but for now this car will live without. I'm going to consider reinstalling it (It is a factory AC car) if/when I do something with the drivetrain.

Chuck, I am curious about the "silly" intercooler, is that the one from Gnari? I have one as a future project for my '85 turbo coupe but I was confused by the instruction placing it between the AC condenser and radiator. Did you have to mod or make any new brackets?

Well, since I'm sure people are tired of all of the other non-TBIrd posts, I was hoping to be able to make an update involving this.
However it came out of the box looking like this
Getting in touch with them about getting it swapped out.
I've been needing to replace the old radiator (and hoses) for a long while now.
It's not the original one, but it's at least 20-25 years old. So are the hoses. It's had a couple small seep spots in it for a couple of years, so it was time.
Thwarted in my plans, I at least sprayed down the engine bay a bit to clean things up.
Here you can get a glimpse of the silly intercooler that's in this thing.
Hopefully I'll hear back from them tomorrow and get another on the way.

one way to break yourself of it is to do some rumble or youtube and put yourself out there then wait for any comments. the first thing you will find out is nobody else is focused on that. my channel is https://www.youtube.com/@ifixitall-24-7/videos

can it be solved so that our images are brought back? meaning if there is an outside/third party resource,, what would that cost?
is there even a resource that deals with this particular issue?
