fitment between 79 and 83 radiators?
So im not sure what these parts are called but I need a new radiator for my 83 and have a nice 79 complete assembly at my finger tips with a good front mount oil cooler.
The parts circled in red I assume it would be the radiator shroud?? will the 79 work in the 83 or do I use the 79 rad and oil cooler with the 83 shroud..Thanks in advance!!

Also routed the line from the front of the engine under the cooler, then looped back to the top fitting from the front side. Makes for less chance for hose getting crimped.

Ummm, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the 79-82 oil cooler mount to the bottom of the radiator?
The SE oil cooler sits in front of the radiator, as it also uses the tall rad.

What I was getting at, is the oil cooler and radiator in the 79-82 mounts to the bottom of the shorter rad, and they come out as a unit. At least, they did in my bud's 79.......
