Sure can. I used a radiator from a 97 formula. All I did was drilled a whole for the coolant drain plug. You will have to get new hoses that fit accordingly. And try to get the shroud with the radiator, your single fan shroud won't fit.

But you will have to do some wiring, since I'm assuing you have a single fan. And I'm not sure what all you have to do there. Pocket moddified my harness to use dual fan

Itd be easier to skip the LT1 rad and just use the fans. Even the V6 3rd gen rad is thicker than any of the 4th gen rads

Fans use the same motors and control as 3rd gen fans, just a different shroud
