    You should get a radiator which is about the same Volume as to the which the Original vehicle had with the Engine you just transplanted in.

    This is of course unless the original was Copper/Brass and you substitute it with an Aluminum one.

    You can go to you local ADRAD dealer and have a browse through their Vehicle catalog to make a list of the Vehicles which have the Outlet / Inlets positioned correctly and is sized close enough to fit easily.

    ST162 rads also hit the spot, incredibly easy to mount, too.

    Top mounts bolt off, and tek screw them on. bottom mounts unbolt on drivers side (?) so get 2 drivers side ones and tek screw them on aswell, mint as.

    the folded lip on the front chasis piece that runs across the front has 3-4 holes in it.

    i bolted a length of right angle on the inside of the bay .. and drilled two holes for the lugs on the radiator to drop onto.

    between the right angle and bottom tank i used ruber washers about 3-5mm thick to isolate it.

    ill try to get some pics this week.
