I've been using the Northern V8 conversion radiator since December of 2018 & it fits & works great. The Northern fits perfectly in the front supports. A small 14" 1,650 cfm electric fan kept the temperature between 185-195 degrees this summer even on 98 degree days with a 185 degree thermostat & temp switch. If the temperature was under 90 degrees outside my engine would run around 180-185. I may upgrade to a 16" fan, but haven't had any cooling issues so far.
