The V8 Owners Forum -

i think i'm going to the junkjard soon and try to find a diesel radiator that will fit my car. or get a custom radiator

Does anyone know the size of an original Rover 3500 v8 SD1 radiator?

i can fit a radiator in me project car that measures: 55cm x 40cm x 4 cm. that is 8800cc. and even 5cm will fit i think. that gives me 11000cc

do you think this will be big enough for the 3.5L V8?

thanks.

and maybe a different alternator pulley.
