IMO the best way to go is a factory radiator IC combination with the IC removed.
ETA: The best place to find one is on the for sale section of the board here, or your local JY.
The racing aluminium rads for 90's Honda's.
I used an Omni radiator in my old Daytona, worked great.
I went with one of these:

It's a stock replacement for an '87 Shelby Charger and costs $165 from Advance w/ a lifetime warranty.
That radiator gave me enough room to mount the stock IC in the stock location on a Spirit R/T. Since one of the radiators listed for a Spirit is the same part# as the one for your Lebaron, it should leave you plenty of room to run pipes to a FMIC. It will take a little fabrication to make it fit, but nothing too serious.

^^That is exactly what I used. In the Daytona I had an NPR intercooler that fit perfectly around it with a 2.5" pipe on each side. Never had any cooling issues with it at all.
Nice! I've had no problems with this one either.Quote:

So, if a person were to look for one at a yard, the little 2 pass unit would be one to avoid.

Edit: To save confusion, this is the one to avoid:

It's easy to identify because both the inlet and outlet are on the same side and the tank on that side necks down in the middle forcing the coolant to make 2 passes. This one looks a little different than the one I tried, but it's close enough to illustrate the difference between the one that works and the one that does not.
For the civic or the accordQuote:

The rail was cleaned up and painted, and the reg replaced shortly after that pic was taken.:nod: The sad part is, the floorboards are in worse shape than that rail. It spent some time winter driven in OH. :(Quote:
