Custom intercooler fitment Question

Has anyone by chance tried using a 03-09 Dodge Ram intercooler on a Hmmwv? I was reading over some Cummins swaps and noticed one mentioned using these dodge ram intercoolers but wasn't sure if they required some custom work or if they fit over the hmmwv factory radiator. I figure the tubing will have to be custom but wondering if the intercooler itself would fit with some custom brackets. Basically wanted to see if someone has tried this before.

Thank You

I doubt it is wide enough and or you cannot pass the tubes in that direction due to the air lift bars, most I have seen and the one I am using look something like this.

With the piping passing over the radiator, a body lift is helpful.
If you are adding an intercooler to the OEM Detroit there is a very limited effect, the Detroit turbo at 5-12LB of boost does not heat up the intake air very much, now when you get to say 30-40lb like I am running in the DuraVee is makes a significant difference.
