which radiator would fit ???

Post by Harts »

Gday, Been searching hi and low for advice on a radiator that will fit my EK ute, Its fitted with a 308 out of a HZ, I am at a loss as to what radiator I can put in without cutting to much out from the subframes radiator side panels.

I have seen a few modifications where the top radiator support has been cut and recessed but would like to avoid this if possibe. Figured you mob would have come accross this before.

All info greatly appreciated.

I'm running a radiator out of a 6 cyl HK, we cut both sides of the rad support panel and that was it. Its a three core one. Maybe look at a v-8 one. But you will have to cut.

Harts,
Not sure if it helps, but VL Commodore V6 auto radiator fits, and is same overall core size as VK Commodore 308. Needs some (minor) surgery to the subframe side panels, and had to (just) notch the radiator support bar. This puts both the radiator water necks on the drivers side of the bay though (good for SBC)... I can't remember what side the 308's are on :oops:

Cheers,
