My question is this... Is there any difference between the radiators used in the 4 cyl and 6 cyl's? I have a 6 cyl radiator out of a 85 GT and the stock radiator in my 88 still. Would you use the stock radiator or use the 85 GT radiator if there is any differece. If it will cool better I will use it because I just put in an 3.8 SC V6. So let me know what you think guys and gals..

Hey Korey , There is a difference between the stock 4 cyl. and 6 cyl. radiators . The 4 cyl. is about an inch thick and the 6 cyl. is a little over an inch and a half . Naturely the 6 cyl. radiator has a better cooling capacity .
