    I was wondering, would a sealed radiator work the same as the stock radiator for a 99 grand Prix gt 3.8 lv6 natural

    You mean sealed like a 3.1 would have had in a grand am? Meaning no cap on the radiator? You'd have trouble filling it and you'd need to add an overflow with a pressure cap.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    But would it mount OK or not? Also would thickness help dissipate heat better?
