Radiator question!

Will the V8 radiator fit into the space of the V6 radiator?

That's what I thought.... that means that 31x19" Griffen Aluminum radiator should fit fine with my V6... no more worring of cooling there!

I'll have to look, but aren't the hoses in different places?

When I replaced the radiator of my wife's Corsica, I went to the local factory. Then the man told me about the new design with tubular copper tubes into aluminum plates with copper cores.

(Note "tubular" tubes = with circular design, like a garden hose, no more "plane" tubes).

I thought hmmmm, and bought one of these radiators with 3 rows for local CH$ 99.000 = US$ 132.


The output?: the "normal" operating temperature on the city was down from 115º C to 95º C . Very good!
