Default Need ideas for a radiator

Ok guys...it's fabrication time once again as I'm getting ready to do another funky HMT setup. The victim is my 89 hatch w/b16a and I'm really kinda leaning towards using a stock b16a exhaust manifold and rerouting the downpipe over to the side where the battery used to be and locate my t3 (.48/.60) in there. There's plenty of space there and clearance for my charge pipes is no problem...only thing that'll be in my way is my eg 1/2 radiator :P It just plain sits too far back toward the motor, even though it's standing straight up and down...no gangsta lean. Pretty much comes down to I need a new radiator...one that's shorter in height than the stock ED/EF piece that I can tuck underneath that cross piece that the hood latch is attached to. What have you guys used or seen used that might work for me here? I've heard something about using neon radiators before, but I don't know the specifics

Nah, no driver's side. It has to sit in more than the stock original full length radiator did. The more I've been Looking into the dodge neon radiators, the more I like them for size...11 3/4" X 24 7/8". Only shitty thing is most core thicknesses seem to be 5/8". :P

lol......i got a 2 core s10 radiator in my hatch :P getting the rad cap off is a pita sometimes plus i had to run a custom made pipe out of a coupler and some bends to get it to fit right(have it running along the backside of the rad). i dunno what to do in your case but for the time being mines fine till it see the b and t in the bay.
