Yes. My car had a 2.8 and now it has an LT1 in it. The radiator fits yes, but the inlets and outlets are opposite between my v6 and v8 radiators.

The upper is on the driver's side and the lower is on the passenger side on the v8 one, do you mean wider or taller because I have mine in now and I definately didn't have a problem.

I didn't have to, I just reused the fan shroud I had and everything bolted up fine, are you using 1 or 2 fans? I only have one.
