I have a 93 colt which is a different body style.  (So this may not apply.)

My rad is absolutely tiny (the 94s had a much larger rad).  However, it *looks* like a DSM rad would bolt in.  Lots of things didn't change between the colt models, so I wouldn't be suprised if they do bolt in.  You would need new radiator hoses to reach though as the outlets are slitghly different.

I would recommend trying the Mirage Forums.   http://www.mirageforums.net

Good luck!

you can run a talon rad, but it does not have a rad cap on it like the stock colt one. also the lower rad supports have to be modified and you have to bleed the system on a hill to allow all the air to rise to the top. not a great setup if you ask me. just goto a wrecker.
