So i will be changing my hdi to a xud engine this week.
The engine i got was from a 406, so it has the xantia manifold and intercooler pipework.
What i need to know is, does the 406 radiator, intercooler and fans fit the 306?

should do in theory, may need to trim bumper or may be worthwhile putting in a different front mount while youre at it
other alternative is to get an intercooler setup from a 306

I tried this and to be honest it's more hassle than its worth. Give it a shot but be prepared with a dt manifold and intercooler. You will need to chop places to route the pipe and I think the slam panel sits much closer to the block on the 306 so bends etc dont quite sit right. You will be able to make it fit but will take extra work and probably other pipe fittings.

..... And by the time you're done, you'd have wasted less time, spent less money making a slightly smaller, better one fit.
