I am using a single core Volvo rad. Cost around £50 new (alluminium) works fine with a 3.5 V8 rover ( 200bhp)

sorry cant remember what model but looked in an online cat. for the biggest that would fit at 20deg in my nose cone.

I've got the rad from a Bedford van in my Fury.

I've just managed to break the plastic inlet stub off the pressure-cap outlet on the F27 V8, so I'm in the market for a new one myself!

I'd be keen to keep things as they are, so would prefer to stick with what was in it (if it was ever suitable in the first place!). I think it's a MK1, MK2 Cortina, Escort, Capri rad. Does anyone know if it's up to the task? I wouldn't the engine will be making anymore than 180bhp.

Cheers!

I'm guessing the old Fordy one will do the trick then!
