The 230 and 250sl auto and stick have the same dimensions, the difference is the lower tank has a cooler for the automatics. an automatic radiator will work for a stick shift car, but not the other way around.
A 280sl has a different radiatior dimension because it has an engine oil cooler that mounts to the left side.

66 230sl
