72's would be fine w/ more fuel pressure but 83's would be perfect. We just did a 99 w/a 6.0 and a T76. G

Default radiator
Are you planning on running a really long upper radiator hose to cross over to the drivers side top inlet or are you going to modify the radiator for passenger side in & out?

Griffin makes one of those universal radiators like you have in the picture with passenger side inlet and outlet with a divider between them in the tank so it is a dual pass radiator.

It may save you some time & labor and possible clean up the area a little to start with the passenger side in & out radiator.

Part number 1-28242-X is what we used in my best friends Nova LQ4 swap. It is 27.5"x19" with dual 1" tubes.
