Hi new member here with a question. Im in the process of pulling my motor out and wanted to upgrade the radiator. Went online to purchase one but they sell them for automatics and manuals. My question is, whats the difference? Ive read many writeups on auto to manual conversion but never seen anything saying to switch out the radiator. I have a auto as of now but plan on putting in a TKO600 next year. I could just put it off till I get the manual in but if I can switch em out while its apart id rather do it that way.

The transmission cooler lines is the difference if I remember, its been a while, so someone correct me if need be.

That's it. The Auto trannys have a heat exchanger on the driver's side, and the transmission cooler lines hook up to that. Otherwise, the fit is identical. If you nave an auto with a separate tranny cooler (like I have), you can get a manual radiator with no problems.
