    when i did the engine swap i useda allum. rad from F.S.R. it has 4 ports 2 in and 2 out. it is used in the airport equipment that tows the airplanes around. called a tug. the rad does fit .if you look at the photo it has a allum. c channel on each side. you would have to cut one side of the c channel off and re drill the holes .But it's not that hard. call them and they can help you... http://www.fsrradiator.com/

    I just got a 2 port FSR yesterday for my slant engine A, $299 shipped. Part# 155360 It is about 4" shorter than the oem, but width is basically the same. Nice welds, fitting it now. I'll take pics during the install.

    Got it installed today, I have a "van load" of pictures to upload of how I installed mine. It is rubber mounted to keep vibration to a minimum. Sat idling for awhile, stays at about 195 (never done that before!), and down the road it sits at 180 (w/180 thermostat) Tomorrow down the highway in 100+ degree heatwave will be the real test. I'll start a new thread with all the pics if anyone is interested in that?? Very Happy
