That radiator will work fine. Just but plugs in the holes. Did you try Rock Auto?

For almost $800 you can get an all-aluminum, TIG-welded DeWitt's radiator. I realize this is not cheap but there are no plastic end tanks to leak, ever. Just another option to be aware of.

Sounded like this is what you have:
Yellow plugs on the right side are for transmission and the Red plugs on the left are for engine oil cooler.
Too bad you missed the once a year Dewitts sale with 15% off the original $745. I got one for my Z51 for $675 shipped. Dewitts charged only $45 shipped to Hawaii. Unlike this dishonest ripped off, charged $29.99, yet claimed they don't use Flate Rate Box:
I don't like plastic side tanks used on modern radiator. Having dissimilar material, it is just a matter of time before it fails. My daughter's car, using generic radiator w/life time warranty - right now, on the third replacement!
