Because of the inlet and out let I used a new ADRAD GQ diesel radiator to cool my 302 and it works perfectly.

use a commodore one if you don't go gq. mine cost $370 from holden it fits sweet as on the gq, has serviceable plastic tanks, lighter and is ally, as well as being far more reliable than a custom offering. also you can get crossover pipes if the outlets are wrong they are on gen 3 std. you will need a header tank - i used a el falcon with a 15psi cap from memory

I've fitted a 3 core for my VH45 turbo. Testing starts ina week or so so we'll see how it handles that. (ie 550ish HP)
