V8 radiators the same?

Is the radiator in my 92 RS the same radiator found in a 305 TPI or a 350 TPI Z28? If not, what is the difference?

as far as i know, the only difference is in if the radiator came out of a car with a standard or automatic transmission.

Nope....Most TPI 350 cars came with a 1 3/8's core
TBI 305's came with a 1" core
The aftermarket people are now making just one to replace all and it is just 1 1/8th" thick.
I believe that is the one that came in the 305 TPI cars.

Actually, I just measured the factory radiator from a 92 RS that I have on hand, and it measures 1 3/8 inches.
