3rd gen radiators

how many diff radiators did 3rd gens come with? was there differences between v6 and v8 rad's? how do you tellem apart?
reason i ask is cause i have a v6 body and i just used the radiator that was in it when i got it.. it looks pretty new.. bought the car as a rolling chassis.. it had a z28 front end on it when i got it but i dunno what the rad came from.. it gets kinda warm in the summer months.. hehe

whoa slow down there!

i believe v8 engines only shared radiators with 90+ 3.1L engines. the 2.8L engines used a different radiator. that i believe had the cap and maybe even the hoses on a different side then the V8 radiators.. (on v8 its on the passenger side. and i believe the cap is on the drivers side for the v6) so all 90-92 v6 cars shared the same radiators as all the v-8 cars. while the 2.8L don't..

For the heat there are many things you can do. Just do some searches and do what you think would work best.
