As for the radiator question a 3 core will run fine for a stock SR this is what i ran in mine and the fan also had to suck through a 3.5 tube and fin intercooler core as well. But since it has been rebuilt with forgies etc it runs a bit hotter and i'm going to get an alloy unit made up, but for a stocker it should be fine. Just watch the top hose rubbing on the cam sensor as with engine movement it may rub through, so you may be able to get the outlet on the top tank moved across a bit. Rhys
