See any reason I couldn’t use this radiator?

Most of the replacement radiators I’m seeing are the larger size, 33” wide. My radiator support can handle that size but I'd have to rearrange some things and since the 3 row small block radiator I had worked fine I'd just like to go that route.

I think this one will work. I'd prefer the Champion if I can find one since they are about $75 less but this size all say they fit a Nova not a Chevelle and there is some discrepancy between what they say in the description and what the graphic in the photos says is the height. 18 1/2" will work but 19" I think is too tall.

Looks like they are covering 68 to 73 Chevelle's. 33"wide. And they are measuring 18 5/8 to the top of the fill neck. Core being 17" high though it looks like the picture may not take in to account that 1/2 to 1" lip on the core top. Could call.

I'm looking at this one too. About $100 less than the Summit one and a Champion so probably not horrible quality. Measurements seem close but not exact to the one I already have. This listing says it will work with a Chevelle where most other listings for the same part number only say it fits Nova. I'm tempted to oder it but I'm worried it may be close but not quite. The inlet and outlet are the right size, as are the oil cooler fittings. I guess my only worry is it being too tall, but the seller told me it was 18 1/2" to the top of the fille, which is the same as mine.
