    Is there any difference between the GP N/A radiators or the S/C ones? Please let me know, got a guy that's willing to let go of one, and he thinks it only fits the S/C models, thanks in advance.

    I've never seen them side by side but supposedly the SC rad is thicker. I ran a NA rad for my top swapped, cammed, IC'ed car with no issues.

    So I have an '04, thicker is fine with me, I would also suppose there wouldn't be any fitment issues with either the A/C condenser in front or the radiator fans in the rear. Just want to make sure that the change is just in the core and not end tanks or attachment points or clips, thanks.

    If you buy aftermarket, likely they have one that works in either model and it's usually the thinner one.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
