Upgrade Radiator / Thermo's?

[sweefu]

Hey all,
My radiator has a slow leak that is getting worse, so i'm getting a new one. I can really only afford a normal, not alloy radiator. However, would fitting a VS V8 Radiator have any greater cooling capacity? Would it fit?
Secondly, i've read somewhere that AU Falcon twin thermo's fit, or are there any other upgraded thermo fans that fit?

Thanks.

i just paid $185 for a brand new one from sprint auto parts, is that too much?
also i have read that the V8 radiator requires a lower rated KPI cap (110 compared too 135 on the 6) so that may mean its not upto the pressure requirements for the v6.

Thanks for that mate, looks like i'll steer clear of the V8 radiator then.
Cheapest i have seen is around $120 posted on ebay, brand new for a V6 radiator.

the radiators are the same length jus the V8 1's r thicker. not sure if a V8 1 will fit the gap between the radiators.
i just ran a big single thermo on my VS V8 in da middle on a auto switch and that ran fine, if not cooler then the clutch, yours been a 6 you sholdnt even have to worry bout the thermo struggling to cool your car..
ive just bought a pair on twin thermos off a VT 2 fit my VR Clubby, when it comes and i get time to stuff around ill let ya know how it fits. (or how i make it fit!)
