Default Half Size Radiator in CRV?

Just picked up a 97 CRV thats got a busted radiator. I've got a half size rad laying around. Anyone ever do this? Will it work?

why not? i mean, people use the same radiators in civics with b20 swaps... does a crv have severly less cooling capacity?

I havnt bothered to even look at it yet. My only concern was if there is any height diff between a CRV rad and a half rad.

Make sure you block off the open side of the core support, or most of the air will flow around the radiator instead of through it.
