Intercoolers?

Will a DSM intercooler work on my '85 T/A? If not does anyone know what cars' intercoolers will work?

a quote from myself from another post
I have 2 stock intercoolers from two 87 thunderbird turbocoupes. I had to shave 1/4" off the deflector plate thing of one of the intercoolers. They to fit side-by-side behind the front metal bumper. I was actually very impressed at how well they fit. I drilled holes in each corner of the plate thing and drilled holes in the bumper and bolted them together. I think the plate thing was actually an air deflector because they were origionally top mounted. The inlets are 2.5" and the outlets are just over 2". I'll try to gt som pictures if wanted.
.
Oh, and I got them on e-bay for $4.24 and $20.

$20 for the intercooler? Is that a yes or no on the DSM intercooler?

I was looking into those (DSM) intercoolers when I was planning my project. They would fit, but the turbocoupe intercoolers were just as cheap (ebay), easier to mount, and had larger diameter in/out. The cores are pretty much the same dimensions. I'd say they are almost equal in performance. The variables are how hard theyare to mount and hook up hoses. If you can mount them, then its a yes.
