I am planning on adding the MP front mount to my 89 SC auto. I still have the stock radiator that is in good condition. I run a 180 degree thermostat and on the highway with A/C on, I'm on the M of the temp guage. Even with the A/C off it only goes down a fraction. So I figure adding the MP is only going to make things worse due to another air restriction.
So I was thinking about adding a universal fit Aluminum radiator and make some custom brackets. The MP front mount core measures 18.5" wide by 14.25" High by 3" deep accordign the the MP website. They don't list the dimensions between the outlets. It looks to me that you have about 1.5' before the tank starts at each end of the core. Right now it looks like 21"-21 1/2" max width between tanks is my guess. I'll e-mail magnum Powers and find out.

Radiator Overall Dimensions:
21 ½” Wide

3” Tank Thickness
Radiator Core Dimensions:
16 7/8” Wide

2 ¼” Core Thickness
I'm not sure any of these will fit. Has anybody used something besides a SC radiator with the MP front mount? Also with a stock lockup convertor do you guys think using a 24,000 gvw B&M trans cooler exclusively will be a problem? This car is a daily driver not a garage queen. I guess you could always add a fan to the trans cooler.
Thanks
