Will a FZJ80 (93+) radiator fit in a FJ80 (91-92) ?

[DaveFJ80]

I need to order a radiator today saw they are better selections for the 93+ LC's, than there are for the 90-91. FYI, I need a radiator for my 91 FJ80

What are the differences between the 2 generations? Are the inlet/outlet hoses in the same place? Does one have an oil cooler and the other doesn't? Does anything need to be capped or tapped/spliced for a new line if I run a 93 radiator in my 91 LC?



BTW, I tried calling cdan to order one but he's out of town until Monday and I need one asap. I can't rebuild my oem one anymore (rebuilt 3 times already by me - no telling how many times by the PO, and it's leaking from different places in the core so I'm just going to get a new one). I just want to make sure about the tanks before I place an overnight order.

Thanks

Nope, inlet/outlet locations are significantly different.

How much diffrent? Can anyone snap a picture of the locations? He might be able to just get new hoses and make it work. Thats what I did with my CJ5 Jeep with a 350 in it. Take some wire and bend it to figure out the shape you need, usually the parts people will let you look for a hose that will work for that shape.

i'd be more concerned with mounting fastener location differences, than hose locations.
really why don't you just put the oem rad back in?
it made it this long, albeit with a few rebuilds.
it's not a bad plan, but you could have done some leg work before it turned into an emergency job. now if you rush, you could really play yourself.
