i think there are differant radiators, i think the diesle have the outlets on the opposite sides, you could get a diff radiator or get a broken one and change the tanks onto your's, can anyone tell me if the diesle has the outlet on the left or right?

mate i have a 304 in my 40.
i ended up with a 60 radiator. but the hoses were wrong, so i got a bloke to braze in new ones etc and plug the old.
all up cost me about $150 including radiator.
then i got holden radiator hoses i think and cut them to suit.
