It will fit,I got more rad and WP than you and mine fits. Had to MAKE it fit and you will have to do the same.

WTF is wrong with todays mechanics? If it don't unbolt and bolt back in then they are lost.
Recon the never heard of a little fab work or grind and fit.

IT's call "IN FIELD MACHINE SHOP INC.".

I installed a Be Cool radiator in my car this past weekend, and I did have to modify the bottom tray slightly, but no modifications were needed to the top plastic cover at all.. I dont know if I have a newer design than you have, but my radiator has provisions on top that the plastic cover attaches to with no modification whatsoever.

This one don't. It mounts the same way a stock one does.
It is thicker so I had to split the "U" mounts on the top cover and move them toward the engine. No big deal just some fitting and time.
Yours probably is not that big.
Mine is a Griffin and it is 3 flue x 1" wide flue and it is 3-7/8 almost 4"" thick at the tanks and because of the thickness the top cover won't fit. It has more of an angle than stock with the AC condenser in there. The bottom tray had to be cut and fit to keep the edge of the tanks from rubbing.
