does the rad fit in the stock brackets or will i have to get specific ones?

i want to bolt it up to my lock up 700r4(dont scold me, i know) what issues am i going to face when putting this together other than grenading?

anything else i need to be aware of?

anyone swaped a 4 core rad into thier truck? just wondering what you did for rad brackets, i would like mine to look stock and there isnt any trucks worth picking from at the salvege yard.

For radiator brackets I just bent some diamond plate to fit over the top and used some rubber hose to keep it from rubbing. Doesn't look stock but it works... it's the only bling on my truck...

I believe GM still sells the upper big block plate, although I can't be positive on that without pulling the part number.

If you can't find the part number searching on here, I can look it up tomorrow more than likely. You'd also want the BBC fan shroud unless going electric.
