GQ V8 COOLING

[ahunter77]

Hi guys i am in the process of fitting a holden efi 304 to my GQ, just wondering what radiator people with similar conversions are running.
I have noticed that the deisel radiator for the GQ has the correct hose configuration, will this provide sufficent cooling when in low range????
Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers

I run the standard diesel radiator with the holden fan and it never gets hot. I dont run gas and it is just a standard v8 with a chip and extractors.
If you are putting a t700 behind it I would suggest a big trans cooler with thermo.

I have a turboed VH45 (Nissan 4.5 V8) that runs avgas and has 280 rwkw. I am using a 3 row deisel radiator and it keeps it cool but there is no margin!
I got this made but it is a standard off the shelf core with standard tanks etc so bolts in and uses standard shroud, fan etc.
