I got a good quality used radiator for my '00 V8 XLT (guy said it was a Modine from a '96 V8) that looks exactly like my old one except for the transmission line fittings. They are too big. There is probably a 1/10" difference in internal diameter and I cannot simply swap the fittings from my old radiator because the setup is also different.

Are there any adapters that I can buy to fit the tran lines into these larger fittings? If not, what are my choices besides exchanging the rad?

Some pics to clarify... first the old (front and side views):

And now the new:

Any help greatly appreciated!
