Thank you guys for the help,
I changed the whole plastic side the radiator, I didnt find V8 side
I found V6 but its the same instead there is no hose at the bottom of it, the man grilled a hole and entered a metal hose he is used to it , its his job.
and the other side seemed to be changed from the former owner of caprice and they did the same operation at the top cus the water reservoir of caprice is in the other side. ( I guess)
Any way i changed the hoses of heaters and other hoses and I shacked on the water level after week i found the Radiator is full so i Added Preston anti rust and anti antiscalant since the lowest temperature is +2 in my country no need for green water (anti frizz) . thanks for help .
