My ebay heat exchanger

I also need to get hardware so I can hook up the hoses,
FWIW
The last time that I mounted a large heat exchanger, I bought some oil cooler mounting brackets and modified them for the base and 1x3/16 aluminum stock from Ace Hardware for the upper/side mounts.
I bought exactly the same unit last spring and its working out great. This provides a huge increase in heat exchange area compared to the standard Comptech unit. I was shocked how heavy it was. There is a lot of aluminum there. This unit is about as big as can possibly fit and that makes mounting it more of a challenge. Here is a picture of the mounting arrangement I used. This is before adding gussets and paint. It picks up existing holes by the bumper attachments. The vertical bar to the left supports my methanol tank, so just ignore that.
