[Dylanhat]

As the title says will a e30 radiator fit in a 2002? Doing an m20 swap btw.

Edit: I'm sorry , i assumed you were meaning a 318 Rad. I didnt read that you're diing the m20 swap. I know little about the m20 conversion.

Yes, an e30 rad (from a 318) will fit.

It helps if you grind off the plastic feet at the bottom so it sits lower.

Just about any radiator will fit if you're willing to modify the front valence. I pulled the radiator from a late model (sixth generation?) V6 Camaro that I found at the local dead car candy store. I chopped the front valence, and cut the frame rails flush with the leading edge of the front subframe. The ludicrously oversized radiator fits like a charm, and provides much better cooling than a stock rad or 320 replacement.

I'm using a toyota Mr2 88 radiator on my m20 swap
