Well when I got my evo back from the body shop after a front end collision, it has a lancer radiator on it. Only problem I can think of would be if you had an auto tranny. Then you wouldn't have any lines to run your coolant to.

You beat me to the punch. I guess there is no need for me to measure.

They are the same. The question I'm asking is, do you have an auto tranny or manual? If you have an auto tranny it won't work because the radiator needs the additional lines for the tranny to get coolant. But if it's manual, it will fit.

No the evo radiator will fit but you have the coolant to the tranny issue to solve if you do it.
