I think I may need a new radiator and if I buy one, I may want to put a red motor in the EK some day.
Are there any which will suit both?
and does someone have a general price
Cheers
New Radiator
You probably don't want to hear this. But I was thinking about useing the Red out of the HR, and I was going to use the radiator as well. (I don't just hack up EK's, any car will do)
Maybe you can get an EH to HR radiator, not sure if it fits straight on or needs mods.

IT's LIKE WATCHING DRUNK MONKEYS TRYING TO HUMP A FOOTBALL.
You will need to cut away the radiator opening on your subframe to fit a HR radiator. It depends on if the red will be a hotty or stocky, if it's stock I recon you could get away with a grey motor radiator.
As far as cost, I bought a new HR one, it cost me $285 about 9 months ago.
Don't know about grey ones but I'll have to find out soon myself, Trev

I'm running a standard 149 (bored to 167 ) and standard grey motor radiator.Don't even have an engine fan.Sits on 88 degrees and I've never had overheating probs.I live in a country area but for city driving I'd fit a fan.
I also run 3.08 diff which keeps engine revs down on the highway and this also helps.
You could probably get away with standard 186/202 with grey radiator but you'd have to be carefull and watch the temp guage.
Best bet would be to follow trevs idea with HR radiator on a larger capacity red engined car.

I can't think what to write here so this will do.

Re-Core
If your tanks are OK, it may be cheaper to recore your old one? Last time I had one done ( 1980's Mazda about 5 yrs ago ) it was under $200.
