Default Question.

Will a V6 radiator work in a V8 car? Can anyone help me with this?

The part numbers are different so I doubt it. Pizza would probably know.

i'd say it'll bolt in and you may be able to get away with it but it's capacity and core size will be smaller then the v8's and you may run hotter or overheat.

ya the v6 ones are diff part numbers and if i remember correctly they are a little thinner? been so long since i had v6 shit laying around so dont quote me on that but i do remember looking at both the v8 one and v6 one and saying "i shouldnt use the v6 one" not saying it CANT be done but for whatever reason it was side by side comparison i was like no...

for a temp fix it will fit (it just holds less) and the mount bracket will be a bit loose, but it'll work.

WILL NOT WORK. the LT1 has a head to head tube that NEEDS to be connected in the correct location on the rad or it will over heat. neither of the v6 rads have this port. get the right radiator.
