umm ti will fit but u would need to make custom mounting brackets and its gonna sit lower becausr the eg radidiators are taller anyways why would u wana do this u going turbo or somthing? because ther all the same price and its not a weight reduction that much

It will require custom radiator mounts. Innovative mounts also makes a crossmember that allows you to bolt a 92-95 radiator to it with no fab. http://www.innovativemounts.com

you dont need any thing but a hammer and some common sense, you can clearance between the crossmember and i think the bumper support, there is an edge that can bend just enough for the rad to fit with out lean, you will have to clearance the hood for the cap and stuff. It took me 2 hours with lots of breaks because it was really hot outside. If i can find pics, ill show you what i ended up with.
NO gangsta lean here

right in front of the crossmember is something dont know what is callled, theres a 1" lip where you can beat in shitless with a hammer, after the beating hit it with some paint to help fight any rust and drop in the rad, its more of a fit, the hit type thing. ill try and get on pic of what im talking about

I fort got to mention you have to beat the front motor mount a little and trim the fan shroud(if its the stock one) pics kinda explain it.
