GT6 Radiator Shape


Jbc562l

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know why the radiator on a GT6 is deep & narrow, where as the Spitfire is much wider ? Obviously the GT6 Rad has a higher capacity because it's cooling the bigger engine, but I'm more commenting on the difference in shape ?

It's all because of the long six cylinder, it's the only way to squeeze the GT6 rad in. It sits between the front rails so it doesn't foul the bonnet and is as wide as the front rails will allow, which isn't very wide.  The Spitfire radiator is further back and can sit higher and be wider.
