Rads are usually really slim and narrow so I doubt it. To get 2.5 inch inlets/outlets for the charge piping then fabbing endtanks just seem dumb. Too much work and I doubt it would flow welll. Actually, not at all unless there are tubes for the air to flow through.

It would not be a good choice to use one.
