I'd measure out what you have and see if something looks like it could be adapted to your setup. That's how I figured out a HD radiator from an 87 Ram would fit my 87 Diplomat. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Gene me too ! for 250, i would get a latemodel replacement or a good used cheapy and drill a couple of x-tra holes.
