Radiator question!
Will the V8 radiator fit into the space of the V6 radiator?

That's what I thought.... that means that 31x19" Griffen Aluminum radiator should fit fine with my V6... no more worring of cooling there!

When I replaced the radiator of my wife's Corsica, I went to the local factory. Then the man told me about the new design with tubular copper tubes into aluminum plates with copper cores.
(Note "tubular" tubes = with circular design, like a garden hose, no more "plane" tubes).
I thought hmmmm, and bought one of these radiators with 3 rows for local CH$ 99.000 = US$ 132.
The output?: the "normal" operating temperature on the city was down from 115º C to 95º C . Very good!
