Can I Swap This Radiator Into my Car?
The radiator is from an 83 v8 (lg4) trans am into a struggling 88 v6 mpfi camaro.
the radiator looks similar, i heard they fit, but every thing is swapped aroud... so will the trans am rad fit into the camaro?
If so, how do i conquer the whole swapped part? Thanks ppl!!

Re: Can I Swap This Radiator Into my Car?
It will fit; I have used V8 radiators in these cars for V6 engines.
You need to get new radiator hoses for a 1990 Firebird with a 3.1 V6 engine. They are long, weird hoses that allow the engine to hook to the radiator with the hookups on the opposite side than factory. The 1990-92 V6 cars actually used V8 radiators.
