Heavy Duty Coolant in Gas Engine?

I have an 87 Chevy 350 pickup with throttle body. I also have heavy duty coolant for our other diesel trucks....

Would it hurt to put the heavier duty coolant in a gas engine? I would think so but who knows, figured I'de ask here, any help appreciated.

Update:

No its got additives to it to protect from corrosion but I'm not sure if that will effect my gaskets/seals vs a diesel's...like I said I doubt it will matter but worth an ask.

    I've never heard of heavy duty coolant??

    I think coolant is coolant tho the mix may be heavier in the HD coolant (like protecting to like 50* below instead of like 25* below..)

    good luck
