That radiator has the proper inlet and outlet locations, but it does not have provisions for a trans cooler, oil cooler, or the steam vent for the cylinder heads. Also be aware that mounting it will require modifying the front subframe, and you will probably need to get new radiator hoses (as the inlet and outlet on the radiator are not 1 5/16" like stock the stock radiator).

This radiator has been used before by many members here (with modifications to their cars) - but swapping to a much larger radiator may not be what you want to do. Last I knew, you were looking to make a rear-mount turbo setup on a stock bottom end.

I'd recommend doing a search on "25241" and reading the results.

I have a Be-Cool rad. Larger than the Griffin Mod. I had to mod the front and lower rad supports. It worked well for me on a 97ss 383 D1 MM6. I had to move the rad for an external crank drived Vac crank-case pump. I like the additional space up-front. I fabbed everything for maximum engine removal clearance.

I used the stock rad hose and extended them with a scrap piece of hose (from NAPA) and my own (simple alum connectors on the enter/ exit rad hose) connectors. Since the rad is lower (up-front), it was necessary to provide a back-fill plug port on the suction line to remove air and prime the pump.
Hope this helps.
