Re: you just need longer core......

Alvaro,
I don't think that the 9000 radiator will "fit right in", but you might be able to make it work. First, measure a 9000 radiator. If it's longer than the original 99 radiator I think that will be a problem, there's really no more room between the headlights. If it will fit into the space then there are 2 things to work on: 1) Physically mounting it - you will probably have to design and fabricate some brackets to hold it in place. 2) The lower outlet - if the outlet is on the left side then this can work, I have a bottom outlet radiator on my 99T. Use a C900 hose (the C900 had a bottom outlet) from the outlet to the expansion tank. Again, you may have to shorten/fabricate/reroute some things but this can be done.
My bottom outlet radiator was made years ago by Dennis Sweeney in PA - he took an older 99 radiator (1972 I think, the one with the fatter end tanks), removed the core and un-soldered the left end tank, turned it upside down, and soldered it all back together with a thicker (4-row) core. So, I got more capacity and the bottom outlet.
Hope that helps!
Gary
