biggest you can go(maybe just a little bit bigger if you need...) W-29.25" H-19.00" Thickness-3.25"(thats in consideration you have the stock mechanical fan...if electric you can go thicker for a three core but trust me you dont need it)

sounds like a deal. max height with the rubber inserts below and no mods to the stock mounting is 19" you can go slightly wider than 29.25 but not by much, maybe another half inch total. stock fan and shroud, 3.25 is as deep as you can go so check the thickness out, how many core is it? if its 2 it shouldnt be any bigger than 3.25
