The lower radiator inlet location should be the same, but you'll need to use a flex hose on the upper or scrounge the parts store's selection. FWIW, I did the opposite (360 w/slant HD cooling radiator) and could not find a molded hose that worked. I ended up using a 22" flex hose.

As i recall I used the slant 6 lower hose and stretched it to fit the over the lower fitting on the radiator. I bent a piece of coat hanger to the shape I needed for the upper hose and went to the local parts store and matched an upper hose up. I had to trim some off the one I selected but it fit with no issues. Dave Clement Pembroke, MA 03 PT Cruiser GT Turbo 99 Dakota SLT+ CC 4x4 68 Barracuda sport coupe http://home.comcast.net/~dgc333/
