Does the E51 radiator on a 2.5 also fit the 3.5 2003 early model ?

If you want a direct perfect fit replacement then the answer is”I think” no
The 3.5 typically uses single fan and shroud where as the 2.5 uses twin fans and a different shroud , the fixing points for the shrouds will therefore be different.
It can be done , but modding needed ( cable ties at the very least ) lol
Hopefully someone has looked into it further or even done it and can advise better than me

If you're having trouble finding a radiator for a 3.5, JDM should have some in at the end of September. Thankfully, I don't need to use my Elgrand right now, so I can wait.

yes thanks i'm waiting for them too luckily my leak is minor some of the other sellers are expensive and seem to think the 2.5 and 3.5 are the same fit and charge for returns if it won't fit even if they list it as so
.I trust JDM ,they have been good in the past and not charged me for returns even when it was my mistake
