Radiators

Does anyone know if a 1972 280SEL V8 radiator will fit a 1971 280SE 6 cylinder? Or do any of the forum members have a good radiator for a 280SE 6?
Thanks

Never mind, guys and gals, according to my local u-pick-um the radiators are the same from 67 to 72? Anywho, he said to would fit according to his interchange manual.
Later

The biggest difference would be if your 108 was standard shift.

Automatic tranny radiators have dual core system with tranny fluid cooling chambers. And automatic radiators in standard shift cars will overheat, as i learned with one of my 220Sb's long time ago.

The 108 is automatic so the "new" radiator should work.
Thanks
