Don't reckon they could handle the pressure if its a plain bearing bottom end motor.

Radiators are only good for 20psi? Plain bearing motor should be anything from 55-75psi depending on make etc.

Might be alright for the 'ol Z's and Gsx's roller bearing bottom end??

if it did handle the pressue, how much oil would you put in it?

they can handle the pressure but can u handle the tig welder to make new inlets and outlets?... i used a heater rad as an oil cooler(apr 130x250x50mm), a brass one with soldered in fittings, worked nice!
