Thanks for the comments guys. The radiator is a griffin 55241-x. The common radiator used is the 25241-x, but I chose the one I did because it has a larger core and larger tubes than the other. All other dimensions are the same. As for the bottom, the lower side of the core support has a bottom layer that sits flat, and the top angled piece that the factory radiator sits on. I cut a slot big enough for the radiator to slide into in the angled layer, then attached rubber to all the metal edges and set the radiator on some rubber supports inside of there.

I'd be all over that if I could keep the A/C condenser in there too. It really looks so clean and leaves so much room to work.
