Hi, I am wondering if a radiator fan from a Chevrolet 2.8 v6 will fit a 305 in a 1992 Camaro that i am thinking of buying. I have the v6 one already off and i was just wondering if i could save a little money and maybe use it. I haven't bought the car yet.

Hello,

The radiator fan for the Camaro is different than any of the 2.8 V6 engines. The mounting pints are different and the specification of air flow.
What year and model is the 2.8 fan is out of?

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

Those fans are not interchangeable. The Camaro uses electric fan and the S10 is mechanical fan.
