Default OEM Radiators DC2- EG6

Are these interchangeable? I could theoretically use an LS radiator for a DX?

You can theoretically use anything that you can hook 2 hoses up to...next by what fits in the bay.

EG's used a half size radiator, while DCs had a full size. The half size is a little taller than the full sizes, and can cause problems closing the hood on some cars(EF for sure, you might be ok on a DC) just google it, it'll come right up.

you will have to remove the ac condenser mounting brackets and also the lower inner radiator mount has gotta be cut off and then fab it up on the other side with the proper spacing....as your going to a shorter radiator you will probably need to make some upper stays to accommodate the new lower radiator...all in all its more work than needed..may i ask why you feel the need for the "ls" radiator?

Get an exact fit "ready rad" radiator for the car you need at Advanced Auto. Its like $80. Just plug and play.

Its more work to do all the switching, changing, cutting etc etc to custom fit one from another car. Labor hours on your car also translate to money and time costs money.
