V8 Radiator Questions

I'm pretty much done installing a FMIC in my 92 and now thinking about going to a 4.6 rad and fan. What I need to know is if any one that has done this has had any issues as far as cooling or IC tube clearance? Also do I need the overflow tank for the 4.6 or can the radiator be modded to work with the SC overflow?

The local yard got a 4.6 Cougar in today and I want to try to pick the cooling system tomorrow if its gonna work so if anyone got any info on this that would be great so I don't have to eyeball it too hard to guess if its gonna fit.

Also if anyone has pics of this and could post them that would help alot.
 
youll need the external coolant tank from it too, the v8 cars didnt have a cap on the radiator.

the v6 cars, however, had an aluminum core radiator, and had a cap on it. :D
 
Well after looking at a newer V6 and the lower rad hose will be right where one of my IC tubes run so that's a no go. But it does look like a rad from a 89 Ranger will fit. Just not sure if its gonna be enough since its just a single core.
