The I6 and baby V8 radiators are the same basically... but for the XR8, i'd highely suggest upgrading it...

The rest are identical from what i know.

No... upgrade from a alloy core to wide tube brass core... they only use 2 rows, but they are as efficient as 3 row cores... i have one of these myself in my AUII SR 5.0ltr... i got the best you could get from Adrad for an off the shelf unit.
