I would have thought looking at a v8 rad you may have to change it, not done it myself, although if you fitted an electric fan lit you may get round it that way

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

I've still got the 4 core Series 3 rad on my truck and it seems to be fine.

I haven't had to switch the electric fan on yet but I did have to replace the rad cap when I realised that the rubber seal was missing, allowing the water to be dumped into the expansion bottle and then overboard.

I have a spare RR rad.  All fine and it will fit as long as you make some new brackets.
