Title: Radiator question
Post by: 05omegav6 on 18 July 2011, 21:17:00

Evening all, need a radiator for the beast, as one of the end tanks shattered during my bump last week. Car is a manual 3.2, and I'm struggling to find a replacement. :(

Can I make use of a radiator from a different size engine? :-/

Will post a wanted later if needs be.

TIA,

Al. :y

I'd have thought a rad from an auto would be suitable & easier to find.  :-/

I would also think that an auto rad would be ok. In fact, later v6,s had a seperate trans cooler, so the rads are probably the same.
I have one like that here from my breaker. Its water tight etc, but some fins are a bit bent etc. If your interested I can send you pics. :y
