    i'm not sure obout the tug motor got the info from the man who runs the yahoo a100 site out of detroit he worked a sprint airlines till he was laid off. the rad has been in my van for 3 or 4 years . and no leaks. tell fsr your intersted in the tug type rad with only 2 ports 1 up and 1 down. i had to think about it . the factory rad has 1 flange on each side these have a c channel so i cut off the back side of the c off. but they can make it how ever you would like.

    this is the rad i used . look closly at the c channel on the sides i trimed off the flange on both sides closest on the engine and used the flanges closest to the grill to mount the rad.155360-4 the last number (4) is 4 ports you can get (2) ports. either way the ports do not line up with the existing rad support hole. the same part number with out the (4) is a (2) port rad and the flange looks to be on the grill side of the rad. this is why i suggested to call them if you pull the rad and make a drawing with measurments they can make it happen. http://www.fsrradiator.com/

    most likley to wide and not tall enough. that is the problem matching up the existing rad , most rads are wider than tall but these earlies are so confinded in the dog house they built special rads for them.

    I took mine to a local radiator shop here and they recored it with a three row for me. It was about $400. but I knew it would fit, and came with a three year warranty. My 108 has a 318 in it like yours.
