it depends if you're gonna use it for a 7afe or the 3sgte that you intend to swap. it will fit but it will not work with the 7afe

(may need custom mounts or tubes, but theres no reason it wouldnt work for any manuel car.) |

the GT radiator has a different return location, all you need is to add another hose to connect it to the block.

I have one on my ST w/ a 7AFTE and I am also doing a swap to a '93 st185 RC and it should be fine
the only problems I had were 1.lower radiator hose I have a universal bendable peice(you can get at autozone, advance autoparts), but plan on getting an aluminium line for return 2.hole on passenger side of radiator where the GT has a temp. sensor, and ST does not I bought a GT temp. sensor to plug it and I am planning on wiring the sensor to kick on my fans 3.I bought on of the C.F. cooling panels from the group buy not too long ago and it would not fit I just had to cut off about 3/4" off of the side closest to the radiator and that was all that was needed This post has been edited by dans_st: Jan 16, 2006 - 1:54 AM -------------------- If anyone is missing NASCAR and it's not on Speed Channel, take a fistful of Skittles, throw them in the toilet and hit the flush handle.

i think to make it work on a swap will really depend on what downpipe yo have and how your intercooler piping is all setup.
on my car, the stock radiator fans are very close to my 3in downpipe and ic piping. so if i wanted to install one, i would either have to do some creative triming from the fans plastic suppors, or find lower profile fans. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

or you could put some "pusher" fans on the other side instead, you can find some at autozone for around $18ea.
