Turbo coupe Front mount Sizing?

I've been looking into putting a big front mount inter cooler on my 84 Turbo coupe. I have a good Idea of what I want but not sure of what size will fit and not cause any bad performance. I know go ask at turbo ford right? Wrong they will just tell me there isn't one to big! Yeah right I know there is a good balance in the setup. Also you have to be able to fit it into the car. Anyone here put one on there car. What size and how did it fit. Also did it make any thing worse off than before. I was thinking a big 31"x12"x3" would do nicely. I do have a t3/T4 ready to blow a lot of air. Need to get this figured out so I can put the non turbo hood on before painting.

Size really doesn't matter as long as it fits.

The one you're looking at sounds good.

I bought one with top & bottom tanks and a longer, shorter core. Supposed to be a lot less of a pressure drop than regular IC's.
