I don't see why not. If anything it should be bigger/better, to cool a bigger motor...too much cooling is never a bad thing. I'd be skeptical to go the other way though.

Compare the dimensions and mount points. If they're the same, go for it.

The only differance that might come into play is the hose inlet outlet is it in the same place and is it the same size. Call oriellys or autozone and ask them they can cross refrence the number. Local salvage yards can too. Most usually will for free just so you will come back later and buy from them..
