v8-v6 radiator

Anyone know if a radiator from a 350 TPI Camaro will fit an 87 V6 Camaro? If not, how much modification is needed to make it work?

Thanks

No, I just went through this.
Mine had crack, leak got progressively worse. A friend of mine with a 86' IROC had a radiator he wasn't using & gave it to me. The next day I went to put it in my car (after cleaning it up & removing mine) and it didn't fit.
Major waste of time. Hope you can learn from my mistake.

i thought that on the v6 the hoses that come in and out are opposite of the v8. i changed from a v6 to a 305 and jsut replaced the radiator.
