OK, we'll have to revisit this before the order. The GT4 rad is actually 3 1/4" shorter than the Shelby model, which might make it the right size for an Eco? Both rads use the same core, so cooling would be significantly improved. Building these all in one shot is going to be the most economical for everyone.Unfortunately, the V8 radiators are taller than the Ecoboost rads, extending down into the space occupied by the intercooler. Most aftermarket intercoolers still use this space, with a thicker core. Yes, it is possible to get an intercooler than doesn't use this space, and then reconfigure the rad mounts to handle a V8 sized rad, but it's not simple. And for the vast majority of Eco owners with aftermarket intercoolers, they need to now buy another intercooler.
But at least we know that C&R is very familiar wit the S550 platform. I may reach out to them next spring and see if they have any thoughts on an Eco sized radiator, i.e., stock height with thicker core.
