Well i got the old one out just a few minutes ago and held the new one in and the trans lines look like they'll fit almost direct. a little modding may be needed but so far so good. i think my main issue is going to be the hose outlet and inlet sizes. they differ from the old radiator by 1/2". The new ones being smaller. Im not sure how to get this to work. Any ideas? The mounts look like they are going to be just right as far as holding the thing in goes. Im feeling a little better about this.
