Actually, they have a new design that has the correct size necks. Edit: Oops, should have read further in the post.

The Koyo is nice, but you can get the same or better for less $ with a custom unit from Howe or elsewhere. I chose Howe because they have a great deal of flexibility in spec'ing out a custom radiator- including tabs and brackets for it to drop into stock location. And it was a good deal cheaper than the Koyo... mine is arriving today, and although I didn't have all the tabs put on for it to be stock, it was only like $250 shipped.

Definitely shop around when getting a radiator, especially for a dedicated race car since you'll have more flexibility with its size and mounting and you can usually get a domestic style for much cheaper.
