stand a side to side rad upright and get the filler soldered on top. seems more choice of that type of rad nowadays.
Thank for the replies.
So, this for example will be up to the job ?

Dunno about that - it's a modern one. Old Mk2 Jag/Daimler rads were popular () as they fit well at the back of a Pop grille and will cool a Rover or other small V8. Unfortunately they're not as common in scrap yards these days so might be a bit harder to find.
As mygasser suggested, it might be easier to find a newer crossflow rad and turn it on end, but you've still got the problem of finding one that isn't made of plastic and aluminium.
Favourite would be to buy a new one built to order (see adverts in Custom Car). More expensive, but hopefully "fit and forget".

if you cant get a mk2 jag radiator Tony, try a Landrover Discovery series 1/2 v8 one. if you decide take a tape measure for a walk round the local scrappy your looking for something around 23 inches tall and 17 inches wide with a 3 inch core. any bigger will be a bit of a problem
