Not sure if auto's have a bigger rad?
But the main thing is the bottom hose connection. Yours should be the newer style push fit type. The older style radiators come with a big spring clamp thing (sure it's got a proper name lol) and they aren't interchangeable without changing the hose as well.

The bottom hose has a circli around the plastic header and the rubber hose is inserted into it.
