That one is made to strap to the front of the radiator itself with the zip ties provided.

I have that same cooler but use it for the tranny. I got it second hand with no thru Rad zip ties. So I just zip tied it to the grill.

You could use a 1/2" to 3/8" hose barb in the rubber line before you get to the cooler

Be careful with those thru the radiator zip ties. I used them once. 2 of the 4 zip ties caused leaks in my radiator.
I never used those through the radiator zip tie mounting systems again. I always made a mount, usually adapted one I could find at the junk yard.
Just my experience. Just saying.
