Probably so, as far as that goes; but I think you'll find that it won't work for other reasons, namely, the hose connections are on the wrong sides.

Given that a brand-new radiator for one of these cars is about $125 shipped to your door, it's so cheeep that it isn't worth worrying about trying to graunch the wrong thing in there.
