Yeah, I'm going to use the intercooler, going to work on fabbing up the cab mounts on the dodge frame tomorrow and then start getting the front clip on and start the figment process. The only reason I wouldn't use the dodge fan is for clearance issues. The front axle on the dodge is further back than the Chevy so I have to do some playing around with the placement of the cab to make it all work. I'll update as I make progress.
