Default 3rd Gen Civic Radiator Interchangability

Whats up guys, havent been on here in a while since I sold my ls swapped eg. Just picked up an 87 Sedan, d15a2 Automatic for the winter beater/ gas saver. It needs a radiator and Im not trying to spend the money on a new one right now, I only paid $250 for this car, and its a pretty well equipped car in great shape. Trying to figure what other Civics, CRXs, etc radiators will work, I havent got to look at what I got and what other ones look like in yards yet, Just trailered it home in the rain today. I know they are all different part numbers, But I fab stuff in my sleep so I can make it work.I was going to ask on red pepper but Im still waiting to get my accoun approved there. Thanks as always

it's a PITA to get approval to be a user on RPR - it took me a month to get on there then, if you wanted to sell something, you have to pay.

Just about any Civic radiator will fit in the space provided but you may need to McGyver the mounting points. That said, it in not deal to make something, anything fit.
