    Default V8 radiator in V6

    Hi, i was just after an answer to the possiblility of having a the 5.0L V8 radiator on my S1.5 3.8L VN (If they are different?). By the looks of things they have the same recovery tanks and they should bolt up no probs but would all the hoses and fittings be the same, or possibility to modify if it was needed on that issue.

    Alternatively is there an aftermarket solution that will work nicely???

    Cheers
