V8S Radiator

[Deadfast]

Hi all,

On dusting off the cobwebs, amongst other things my V8S needs a new/recored radiator. Preferring to upgrade rather than stand still, anyone know where I might get a nice shiny one for unridiculous money?

Thanks!

Contact Tim at ACT re a Radtec alloy one. Not cheap but beautiful craftsmanship and will help your engine run cooler.

Oooh that looks good, and not just the rad either.

I've checked that out. The vendor says "we have never experienced fitting V6 radiator to V8 engine and i thing this is not possible and i would not recommend buying this radiator for your car. Hoewer if you wish to purchase this item at own risk we offer 14 days money back guarantee for undamaged and unused item in original package".

As the ACT rad fits both the V6 and the V8 do we think this could fit the bill? It would be great if it did.

Cheers.

As well as getting my radiator recored and reconditioned for £120 I fitted a new otter switch with a lower rating so now the fan cuts in well before it can overheat!

Interesting swirl pot too was thinking similar for mine then no more debate over cap position

That was an ACT item as well. Also the headers, exhaust system, hoses & clips. All great stuff. (& no I don't work for them )
