I pretty much need a new radiator for my EB falcon (leaking/losing a lot of coolant in a short amount of time) and was wondering if my mate's radiator from his AU falcon would fit into my car. I've tried searching but I'm not getting the answer that I need :/
Any help would be appreciated! |

Nope. Way too different to bother.
Unless you want to replace all your hoses and radiator mounts at the same time. |

Ah right... so would any radiator from an E-Series work, or does it have to be EB specific?

Is it more beneficial to use an EF/EL radiator than an EB one?

not really, the size and mountings are the same...
if you dont want to go changing hoses ect, best just to get an eb one... |

EB radiators are cheap & plentiful from radiator joints anyway, why bother with all the cost & hassle of converting hoses & so on to use a later, same sized radiator?

Unless your changeing to thermos at the same time. EF EL has the mount on the drivers side for the thermo fan to bolt to. Mine is zip tied...

My adrad EB radiator has the holes to slide nuts into to bolt the EF/EL thermo fans onto, so i bolted mine on as per factory. Cheers ToranaGuy

Well thanks for your help guys.
 I'll be grabbing an EB radiator when I can, hopefully shouldn't have trouble putting it on. |

When did you buy yours dude? I bought mine almost 3 years ago now, replaced it when i first did my manual conversion. Cheers ToranaGuy

I forgot to ask this, what size sockets and such do I need to remove the radiator? And how many bolts need to come off?
Also, I'll be able to use any radiator from EA-ED right? |

2 bolts... Both 15 mm.
2 flare nuts... Both 17mm (if yours is auto) Flat head screw drivers and maybe some multigrips to help with the hose removal. Believe the radiators are all the same. Just make sure you get an auto rad if yours is an auto. |
