Looks like a mustang radiator. This is a Honda radiator I had in my car. I couldn't keepthe car cool with it but it was just an ebay fan that came with the shroud.

I went ahead and ordered a XS power t4 ls universal turbo kit. The passanger fits fine but not so much for the driver side.
The plan is to use a camaro 2010 manifold to make it work on the driver side.
Also welded a vband to the passanger side manifold where the crossover will connect with the driver side hotside.
