Title: FE chev V8 "Aussie Desert Cooler" radiator Post by: fe350chev on June 12, 2013, 10:40:28 AM does the aussie desert radiator fit straight in width wise or do u have to cut the front to fit.
Title: Re: FE chev V8 "Aussie Desert Cooler" radiator Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on June 12, 2013, 06:08:40 PM Are you getting a stock replacement or a custom?
Their ads list many models and they can probably do custom fits too. I have heard they are over-rated/priced for what they are.

Title: Re: FE chev V8 "Aussie Desert Cooler" radiator Post by: Ol_Girl_58 on June 13, 2013, 04:33:15 PM I had a VH Commodore radiator cut down and triple-cored.
Title: Re: FE chev V8 "Aussie Desert Cooler" radiator Post by: Harv on June 13, 2013, 05:05:41 PM VL Commodore 6-cylinder auto has the inlets/outlets on the correct side for Chev V8, and has the same size core as that supplied for the VK Calais 308 (should cool a SBC OK). Does need some trimming of the original radiator panels though.

Title: Re: FE chev V8 "Aussie Desert Cooler" radiator Post by: FEHOLDEN on June 14, 2013, 10:01:43 PM yeah personally, I had an ADC radiator for my FE with 186 and was too thick, would have had to run engine mounts too far back from HR front end. Got original radiator recored elsewhere with better result. Sent adc back for refund.
Title: Re: FE chev V8 "Aussie Desert Cooler" radiator Post by: fcv85l on June 28, 2013, 10:15:18 PM had a adc radiator in my fc 350 and took it back out,never looked back got reasonable scrap value too!!
Title: Re: FE chev V8 "Aussie Desert Cooler" radiator Post by: pedro on June 29, 2013, 12:04:23 PM Look them up on ebay Deano, mine is a VL and would have been $460 from a radiator shop or $340 from Autopro, I got an aluminium one off ebay for $240.
Pedro Title: Re: FE chev V8 "Aussie Desert Cooler" radiator Post by: fe350chev on June 29, 2013, 12:43:33 PM yeah will do.
