Plumbing it should be straight forward. Just go to a parts store and spend
some time admiring the molded radiator hoses until you find one with the right
bends. No big deal, and what you already have to do to replace stock Spitfire
hoses anyhow. With the built in electric fan, clearances aren't a problem.
As for not liking plastic bits on a radiator, why don't you? They work just
fine. Typically they are light and stronger then metal.
I don't know why you consider cross flow inferior. In every way, it is
superior to a vertical flow radiator.

The only rabbit radiators I can find are right
intake/outlet, and I just can't see it making an easy
mate to the stock spit thermostat housing which points
drastically away from the right. And I'm not too keen
on plastic bits on the radiator.
I'm starting to lean towards Chris Sharps idea of
recoring.
I'd considered the 24 x 18.5" chevy aluminum, but I
think the 18.5" height is just too high, and the tanks
are on the sides as compared to the top and bottom,
which is questionable for the purposes of mounting the
stabalizing bars.
