You can but the hose outlets are in different spots. It doesn't cool as eficiant but if you duct all the air through the radiator you should be fine. For example where the hood latch is, if you sheet metal that off it helps funnel the air through the radiator instead of around it. Also maxima fans are extremely powerful. Look at moso signature on here for a fan switch setup..... Its top notch.

I would go aftermarket, better safe then sorry, also use maradyne dual fans way stronger then the maxima fans better to pay once then have to rebut stuff or risk blowing your motor
