Calvin Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 I throught I was being all smart when I grabbed a radiator out of a 95 Grand Prix to use in my car with the 3x00, since that's what it came with and the outlets and diameters would match up, but today I just went to put it in and it is WIDER by at least two inches (like 28.5 vs 30+) and doesn't even fit where the old one went! Why does a radiator out of a GEN I not fit in a GEN I car!!! What rad is the right width AND has the smaller diameter inlet and outlets? Quote
94CutlassXtreme Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 IDK, is your 3100 vin M? Check the 8th digit. The vin M radiatior seems to be the larger from what I've noticed. New replacements seems to cover both somehow. Quote
Calvin Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Posted June 22, 2006 My rad is from a 95 VIN M car, my car is an 89 VIN W, and my engine is actually a LA1 from a 01 Impala.... I guess I am down to trying to figure out what years/engines had the correct cooant outlet diameters and directions. Kurt Quote
