Default so i got a radiator

the radiator is from a 99 suburban half ton with tow pakage
it is bigger length wise
my stock radiator isnt that long
i want to know if there is a way to make the new one work in my 94
the new radiator has all the same plugs for the lines to go into
so any ideas or has anyone done this
im thinkin it will fit in the stock location as there is alot of room to work with but im just worried about the mounts no fitting right

any ideas would be great

No zip ties, bubble gum or baling wire allowed. This isn't hillbilly tech lol. You can drill a few holes in the core support and makr mounting tabs out of flat steel. Cut them long enough to clear the top of the radiator and a little extra to bend over the back to make an angled cradle. It'll be good and strong once you bolt it to the core support.
