Its probably the same radiator I did buy from them few years ago. They say its a direct fit but in my experiance you have to bring out the big hammer. I did also cut some metal. Other than that it should be no problem.

not a direct fit at all. I didn't have to use a hammer but it doesn't sit correctly without mods. The stock rad mount doesn't work, you have to cut yours up or fab a new one.
