Can I use a stock 5.0 radiator?

I noticed today that my new little 2.3 coupe may have a radiator leak (I am hoping it is just the overflow leaking). I have a good radiator from a 5.0 I parted out, will it work on the 2.3? The end tanks look to be the same size the 2.3 radiator just looks alot thinner.

the 5.0's and 2.3's got the same radiator. Should work fine.

Actually the 2.3 radiator atleast the one in my 2.3 is quite abit thinner than the one in my 5.0.

The radiators were about an inch and a half thick. How thick are the ones you have? The one from the 5.0 might be aftermarket

It'll work just fine....I used to have a 3 core on my 2.3. I think the radiator was bigger than the motor lol

No the 5.0 radiator is stock and the same size as the one on my 5.0. On my 2.3 the end tanks are thicker than the finned part where as on the 5.0 radiator the finned part and the tanks are the same thickness. I am sure it will fit though.
