I have a 240 black ice extreme rad and I'm wondering if the 240 stackable swiftech rad would work with it? Basically wondering if the inlet/outlet holes would line up. I know the fan hole spacing is the same.

Probably not. The Swiftech's are at the edge, where most radiators have the barbs toward the centers. You'd probably be better off just picking up a standard MCR220 and a stackable 220.

ya I figured they wouldn't line up perfectly but if anyone has both and can give me an idea of how big of a difference there is. I am thinking I can always space them a bit farther apart that just a fan space and just have the tubing bend a lil bit.

You could probably use two fans between them (for a total of four, and use short barbs and it could possibly work.

I was thinking just attaching a fan to one and then use a threaded rod through the other side of the fan and into the other rad leaving a longer space. I was already planning on have 4 fans. Would hopefully only need an extra inch at most.
