Let's talk intercoolers

[Hillbilly]

I've been watching/looking to catch a intercooler for a good price for my 12V Gen2 swap. I don't have a stock dodge or Ford intercooler to have a reference size to compare? Does any have those measurements so that I know what I'm working with?

I found an intercooler that came off a supercharged 5.0 mustang. The guy claims it's good for 600HP. He's asking 125 dollars for it. The measurements are 22x8.5x2.5 with 2.5inch openings, it is a 16 row. Does this even compare to an OE intercooler? Is it too small, too big? Thanks in advance fellows.
