Will a Monte SS radiator fit in my car?

The Monte SS cars came with stock 3-core radiators, and I can pick one up from Auto Zone for like $60-$70. I want to get a 3-core, and if this would work, it would be really cheap. I just don't have my car anywhere near me to measure the radiator.

Thanks,
Eric

i would spend the extra 50 bucks at like advance auto and get a direct fit aluminum one, because that will have the correct size and capacity, and the same for the tranny cooler inside.

I have 5 montes. The alum. f-body one cools better, and it has the heater hose fitting on the RH side.
