new CJ radiator

[Glenn]

Howdy all, my radiator in the CJ5 is about shot, sick of patching up the top and bottom tanks, anyone out there happen to have the top and bottom tanks from a later model Cj5,6,7 or 8? the core I don't care about, easy enough to get a new one, its just the tanks I need.
have heard the older model holden v8 radiator might fit, can anyone confirm?
don't mind having to fab new mounts, the radiator that i have in at the moment is from a fj landcruiser so wouldn't mind getting rid of that, toyota bits in a Jeep, ewww lol

thanks

go the holden v8!

[Glenn]

yeah I think so too, a bit of searching and I discovered the holden v8 HQ HZ radiator is a little under 1 inch wider and about 1 shallower than the jeep rad. should squeeze in, plus on ebay a brand new Holden rad is only 230.00

I've got a holden v8 radiator in my cj, keeps the 308 cool, using a flex fan and a std plastic holden fan shrould turned upside down.
make sure you mount it to the grill only and use rubber grommets

thanks for that, just about finnished mounting the holden radiator this afternoon. I don't have a shroud as yet, will run it without and see how it goes and keep an eye out for a shroud.

ya i have a hz v8 one in my cj7 fits fine, I have a stock cj7 one you can have it has had the tanks taken off 6 mounths ago and flushed. the cj7 had a heavy duty radiator in it as stock, it kept my v8 cool. if you want it you can have it 4 a carton.
