My buddy put a Rx-7 (79-82) radiator and just had to fabricate some angle brackets for the oil cooler. I think he had to use washers to hold the radiator in the grame since the holes didn't all meet perfectly.
RX-7 rad and OC will fit but the rad will need some mod. If you look at the stocker, the lower rad inlet is straight while RX-7 has a slight bent so you may need to make multiple trips to the partshouse to get the right hose. RX-2 OC has an external oil t-stat located in the inlet fittings while the RX-7's internal.
I have a good RX-2 OC but I havent looked into it to find out which one holds more oil. Im using RX-4 OC in my RX-3 and 2 FBs which are larger than RX-7.

Yup, I have a FB short radiator.. I think its 22X11 or something close to that. Just get some small L brakets from Home depot race shop and your good to go. I have no cooling issues with it on my 13bt setup.
