the 6cyl radiator will keep a standard 302 cool no probs, we had one fitted behind our 302 clevo for 12yrs without a single problem, and not once did it over heat.

hey mate thanx for the offer for conversion parts but im in central nsw, lol dont really feel like driving to melb for car parts

hey has anyone else had a mild 302 clevo behind a standard 6 cyl radiator?
im not going to be racing this car down the strip or the track or anything so i thnk i can manage wot do you guys reckon??

although i am planning on going to summernats 20 if not the 21st birthday summernats so ill need a proper radiator by then becasue cruising is going to overheat it like a deadset mutha fukker

so i need to change my throttle linkage is that right?? on the cable or on the carby is it differant?

thanx guys

when I built the xc I had a 6cyl radiator in it for 2 years until it sprung a leak from old age. Never over heated or got above 3/4 on the heat gauge either towing a trailer with another car on it or flogging it stupid through the back roads. Only differerence to yours was I had a manual. I did later on install a gt radiator from an outo and had to recut the side mounts on the car body to make it fit properly but all was good with the 6cyl unit.

As for the throttle from memory the v8 throttle cable is longer than the 6 so youl need a cable for around $50 and the bracket that bolts onto the engine as well.
