I am going to purchase an all aluminum radiator. The inlet port is on the top right side. The outlet port is on the bottom left side. The filler cap is on the left side. The transmission cooler tank is on the left side. I want to move the inlet port from the right to the left side and move the outlet port from the left to the right side.
Would this adversely affect the radiator's performance? Or would it be okay?

Thanks and regards,
Tony

sounds like it is the wrong radiator have a radiator shop do it. it should not effect its performance, only if it is too small.
