Another option.. Get some 1/2 or 3/4 flat strip from Home Depot. Mount that from side to side and drill into that.. Mount the strips using the existing hardware pushed away.

I have the Champ 3 row #CC339 and it fit the core support w/o any issues. As everyone has stated, the Xmem needed to be notched. The only problem I had was the stock fan shroud was not a direct bolt; that was not critical cuz I was going to elec fan setup. I bought the unit April 2010 and it has worked just fine.

I think I'd rather modify a radiator to fit the car than modify the car to fit the radiator.
