I searched size differences and found them to be the same hight and alittle wider but the depth is like 1 1/2 deeper so I wasn't sure if it would be alright. My stock v6 rad has the upper hose on the wrong side and has a electric fan and would love to save the money and run my stock setup till I get some cash.

Don't know how adept you are as to a little fabrication
but things like top mount brackets are pretty easy to fabricate

And as to hoses, they come with hundreds of different lenghts and bends, Checkers, Autozone, ect. ect.
Can also cut, splice tubing, ect, until you get (Cash rite)
and decide exactly what radiator you want to run.
