Re: radiator is shot need advice
You can use a TPI 350 radiator, you just have to use radiator hoses from a 90-92 3.1 engine. Our engines use the front wheel drive water pump style which puts the bottom radiator hose inlet on the wrong side. In 90, GM started using 1 radiator style for all the cars and used a really long and curved set of hoses to get it done. It works great!
