Part 3: Engine Swapping 101
Swapping to a V8 also means you need to address the cooling system. Thestandard six-cylinder radiator (right) was in rough shape, but the V8requires more cooling anyhow. We contacted U.S. Radiator and got one oftheir V8 replacement units with the special "optima core" (left).

In essence, buying it once is better that having to buyanother one later.
