I think Adrad/Natra still make cores for these in South Australia. I'd talk to them and see what they can do. You may still be able to get a high density (HD) radiator core with fins closer together.

Hi there Mark,

 

Those symptoms of yours,

 

 are the same I had with the same worked 208,

 

living in Sydney at the time, stuck in traffic was a panic.

 

 

So after a few years, I stumbled across a Radiator guy,

 

who said, why don't you try a triple core v8 radiator with HQ top and bottom tanks,

 

as the water in and outlets are the same as the little Six.

 

 

So I said, I will give it a go, and $330 bucks later back then in 1990,

 

I never looked back.

 

 

Best thing ever, can now do what ever we like and never gets HOT.

 is there a better option??

You need to modify the mountings to fit:-

No they are not.
The 350 Chev fitted HQ holden had a radiator that is very similar to the Holden 6 fittings.
 

You could also buy a kit, thru NATRAD that had all new parts, 3 core, wide side bands, top and bottom tank and fittings, that had to be assembled.
this could be bought in 6 and 8 configurations.

Sorry to waste your time,

 

Back to the drawing board here.

may have been that he could put the little six tanks onto the HQ triple core Radiator

something happened down that line, and worked.

Found this sold one:-

 

Aussie desert cooler radiator to suit hk ht hg. 4 core triple pass

Just right for the Little Six in and outlets

 

 

 

 

Edit:-

 

So what top and bottom tanks are on that Quad Core, anyone?

HJ-HZ 6cyl with A/C or HD radiator had the same 3 row as a V8 with A/C, just with 6cyl outlets. This is the one I have always used with a SBC, just move the bottom outlet to the top and put a big one on the bottom. You can put an Aussie made 4 row Natra core in these. Not sure if they fit an LC though, but they fit LH-UC if you trim the rear shroud mount.
