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.

This is approx as the radiator I have is wrapped bubble wrap at the minute 75 x 45 x 5.5 cm.

The radiator I have is new and wont fit in my project. If anybody wants it make me an offer.

Cheers

Chris

The one you have now is the one I described.

Have you fitted the new radiator?

Does the longer radiator still fit your car?
