I ordered a Scirocco style radiator for my Subaru 2.5 NA conversion. It measures approximately 20" X 11" X 1.5" and is a double pass. The stock radiator measures 13.38 X 27 X 5/8". The scirocco radiator has more surface area if I consider that it is a double pass and twice as thick ie 440 square inches versus 361 square inches. Am I safe to assume that the scirocco (though smaller and thicker) will have the same or better cooling power as stock?

I've got the same radiator as Mike mounted a bit further to the front if your looking for another install. (signature)

I think your radiator would be just fine, I initially thought it was to small then I saw it was double pass and fairly thick. Put a high dollar fan on it and shroud it really well and I doubt you will see any issues.
