Just because these 2 car share the same base chassis design doesn't mean that things like radiators will even resemble each other in the slightest. Many things are quite different. I don't know why it even matters. I would never advise using someone else's used and crusted up radiator. New ones aren't that expensive. Blowing an engine due to overheating hover will be quite expensive.
