Default MK4 radiator?

Is the MKIV radiator a direct drop in replacement for the SC300?

I see so many supra radiators for sale but very few for the SC3 and Im in need of one soon so I figured I would ask

It depends on the radiator. Some are a pretty close fit, while others are way off.

I have a manual 5 speed with an aristo, my radiator is stating to show its age and the plastic is staring to look a little brittle, wana upgrade but for the price of the stock unit even from like autozone or something you might be able to squeeze a few more bucks and get something aluminum, just wondering if anyone had swapped in an supra rad instead.

Havent tried flipping the lower rubber mounts but I'll try that.
