    Question GEN 3 radiator

    hi all
    just wondering is a LS1 radiator will fit into my vz v6?
    and if so do you reckon it will do anything in performance wise
    thanks

    He may be asking a serious question you know. To answer your question. Yes it should fit, you need to remember that Holden is very smart and lazy at the same time, they mass produce the cars and leave the engine fitting as an afterthought. Meaning you can easily put an LS series engine into a car that came factory with the Alloytec.
    So yes, the LS radiator should fit into the engine bay of the V6 car, some slight modification may be required, namely around the hose area.

    As for performance, I cant say with a 100% certainty but I would say it would give no performance gain, youd be lucky to see a difference in the temperature it runs at.

    wont do jack, the standard radiator does its job at keeping the engine at optimum temperature. having the engine at normal operating temperature is where the power is, not whether the engine is cold or not
