Default Will 3.4 radiator work in 3.8 SS?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I just want to know if I can put a used radiator from a 3.4L Impala into my 3.8L Monte. The radiator is used but tested and comes with warranty. I do not have $300 for a New AC Delco and refuse to get a new generic one off eBay thats $60 and will probably need replaced after a month, Junkyard has the radiator btw for $50.

rockauto.com $195.79, AC Delo part # 21560 is for a 3.4 and a 3.8 Monte. They are the same part for both models......

Check it out for yourself and you can use that site for other compatible parts in the future.....

edit: I thought you were looking for 3.4 and 3.8 Monte, not an Impala...They are not compatible......

I had to double check atleast 5 times for each.........

You never know and if you do buy from a junkyard there could be a "no returns" policy!
