Default MK4 radiator?

Is the MKIV radiator a direct drop in replacement for the SC300?

I see so many supra radiators for sale but very few for the SC3 and Im in need of one soon so I figured I would ask

It depends on the radiator. Some are a pretty close fit, while others are way off.

I have a manual 5 speed with an aristo, my radiator is stating to show its age and the plastic is staring to look a little brittle, wana upgrade but for the price of the stock unit even from like autozone or something you might be able to squeeze a few more bucks and get something aluminum, just wondering if anyone had swapped in an supra rad instead.

im using an afermarket metal 50mm mk4 radator. fits sc300 engine bay with the mk4 airbox, plastic shroud and everything. i just flipped the bottom rubber support things upside down from stock sc300 and used the stock sc300 brackets.

The rad is the same except for its like an inch shorter.

Havent tried flipping the lower rubber mounts but I'll try that.
