Yes a vitara one will fit. Just wait till Royce gets on a little later as he did a Vitara setup when he had his Sierra.

youll need a bodylift and some new brackets but pretty straight forward

vit clutch fan is also a simple mod

vitara 1.6 rads are not a bolt in fit but are muche better. if you are able to cut and or remove all the vit mounting items you can adapt it to a sierra, or fab from scratch. if you intend to go power steer than measure up the box you will use as this will affect where you might place the radiator.

all the 1.6 egines i do i will use a vit radiator. i won't warranty anything on the engine if the customer uses the original 1.3 radiator.

the smaller one will be fine, but if you have a body lift you may be able to fit the larger one.

Why is there a big one and a small one? What donors do they come from?

cool thanks joe. i measured mine when i got home and figured it would be the small one as i have no body lift and their wouldnt be enough room for the taller one.
dont know why theirs two sizes damo both have the same listings in the book just differant height.

Hi joe! I was wondering if you can post some pics of the mounting system. I'm trying to fit the vitara rad into the samurai, but im not getting any idea on how to mount it.

Thanks
