    Hey I'm new around here, my VR commodore is off the road for a while and I'm going to do some cheap v6 performance upgrades to it. I was wondering if a v8 radiator will bolt right into the standard mounts for a 3.8 VR (not sure if the 5.0l radiator support panel is larger or not). Also wondering if you think its worth my time/money, if not what radiator should i be looking at (mine is busted so a new radiator is a must)?

    The itself radiator will go straight in as the mounts are the same but the hoses are different so you would have to modify them.I would get a good radiator but the standard 1 seems to be pretty good and you dont hear of a lot of overheat probs with them.. You might have to move you Charcoal Canister not sure. I had to move mine when I went when I put my V8 in but I used AU Fans.
