yup, nice radiator, that's what I put in my 90Q last summer.  Just
remember to get a 4kq lower rad hose, since you will no longer be using
your corroded old aux radiator.  The 4kq hose needs to be cut a few
inches shorter at the block end because the 90Q thermostat cover has a
longer neck than the 4kq.
