Will,
Mine is a 4 row radiator and runs fine in 100 Degree F heat. I've read that some of the early V6s' were built with V4 radiators and subsequently over-heated. Mine has a Lucas pusher fan installed in front of the radiator and it looks like 1970 vintage. It was probably an afterthought on Marcos part. Instead of putting in a bigger radiator, why not just install a fan? My currrent radiator was installed in the UK before it was exported to the US.

He has a V4 that he is converting to V6. He probably has the answers you need.

Thanks for the information, especially the photo!

I'm based in the UK, so would probably be a bit pricey to send
anything over!

Another quick question though. My V6 was originally a V4, and I'm
starting to wonder whether I've still got the V4 radiator as it runs
a little warm - never seems to boil or do anything drastic, but seems
to hover around 95-100 degrees. Anyone know how to identify the
correct V6 radiator (or the V4 one for that matter?)

Thanks again

Will
