What size are these radiators you blokes are using?? I see I can order universal radiators by size. Might check them out for quality on the weekend. They are half the price of Aussie Desert coolers but Im dubious of quality.
Run what ya brung and hope it's enough

Guys, Do you think a N14 radiator and twin thermos handle a 304 behind it?? :?
As Skylineroofing stated they sit lower than the original radiator support and look pretty good twin thermos.
Gilmer drive will force me to mount it in front of support :evil:

Hey skyline can you flick me some pics too?????

Is that mustang radiator a simple fit up or a chop and lop!

Hey guysb
in regards to the sss pulsar radiator message me on 0422025167 and ill forward the pictures as I spent ages writing out a story about my car but I can't figure out how to post pics..
also make sure to get the top mounts and bottom tie member to cut down and graft in in rad support.with the v6 in and thermo fans I have about 90mm of clearance.. Between it all..
Also if any one got any questions about commodore brakes and wheels I have it all rolling on 17s and vs diff and vl turbo brakes.. I have about 20photos just don't know how to post..
