Manual radiator in an auto car..?

[hainzy]

Hi guys.

This is probably a stupid question but I have a VN V8 manual radiator and a bloke wants it for his auto car but ive told him it doesnt have the auto bits. He has asked could he still use it and run an oil cooler with it instead... I dont really know. Seems like a lot of extra trouble to me... Anyone know about this so I can give him an answer? Cheers.

if he is going to run an external oil cooler then it will be fine.

Even with a cooler Problems will arise- dont do it

I agree with Clint_G, It will be fine, I run it like that on my Cammed V6, i could use the radiator too but i like avoiding the radiator in case the internals rupture it won't effect engine cooling. Its 6 of one and half dozen of the other but. Some people will disagree. I've had no issues.
