My radiator came, mounted the core support and looks like I canmove the motor forward 2 inches and still have 1.5" to the core from the fan. I called Justin from R&D today and I am going to buy a stage 1 kit and mount my hx35 and use the banks intake hat for my turbo system.

Did some work with the fire wrench to fit the idi in there. Still need to order the stage 1 from justin and see, but there is much more room behind the motor now and the cab bolts to the mounts.

Still have a lot of cleanup to do and box that crossmember in.

If it was me I would throw additional plating on the verticals below the cutout and 4" or so each way wider, as well as boxing it.

crossmember boxed in. The angled side peices go to the bottom of the member and are welded solid.
