I seem to recall seeing a S10 V8 swap radiator that was smaller and fit more inside of the rad support to give you a few more inches of room in the front of the engine.

Re: A alum. rad question.

I remember when I gathered parts for a v8 jimmy. I ordered a 1986-1988 Vette radiator. It worked out just great. Fit in there really well and if you dont want A/C you can cut away some of your core support It fits right up inside where the condensor used to be. Also I remembered that I have a rad out of a 93 blazer with a 4.3 and a 5 speed and it has a thinner core so it will give you a little more room.

I have one of the V8 S10 radiators that tucks into the core support.
Got it off EBAY. I checked the seller info. Looks like they might be out of business (no feedback for at least 6 months).

That is at least as wide if not wider than a stock rad.

Can't find a good pic here at work but it fit perfectly in the PEP core support

This is also the same one many of us are running locally here

He said "I need the fitment smaller from side to side. not up & down".

Yeah, that's the one I have. Only problem is the fill neck is right where the 4" cobra L from the turbo sits. So the neck has to be relocated to clear it.

Re: A alum. rad question.

here is what im getting at. take A look at the pic. trying to weigh my option. remove the horn & evap. & slide the stock rad. over to clear it. Or spend $300 on A new rad.. Trying to cut costs.

Re: A alum. rad question.

Does the front (endcap) of the filter ride on the rad?
Or is that bent filter just from the cooler fitting hitting it?
