89+ radiator from an Auto. ?

can anyone confirm if the radiator from an automatic e30 will work with the swap?
s50 going into an eta.

any chance of blocking the auto tranny ports or will it just not fit in there?


thanks.

bump,, please help me a little.

i did a search and found some people saying that an auto radiator "will" work,

but can anyone confirm this for me, what will i have to do differently than with the manual rad?

It's essentially the same radiator. You just need to block off the ports where the transmission lines bolt in. But you don't really need to block those ports off.

Please avoid bumping a topic more than once in a 24h period. Otherwise you will be subject to a little something we call "street justice." jk :mrgreen:
