Aluminum Radiator [Where to get?]

[Tom L]

I got a call from my body guy, he is edging my G/N next week, then paint & reassembly. My G/N has a TE-44 Turbo and a ESP intercooler behind the grill and in front of the stock radiator. Before the car was parked a few years ago it was running hot, near 225 degrees and ready to overheat. Stage 1 auto here in jersey checked everything but it ran hot because airflow to the stock radiator was blocked by the ESP.
I checked out summit racing and they have a griffin radiator for close to $700. Can anyone reccommend a place I can get one which will drop right in the car and at a good price too? Are any modifications needed for the install? THank You.

I got my radiator from Peter (red c5 username). He was great to deal with and an honest guy. Send him a PM and I'm sure he'll take car of you. The radiator went right in with no problems and works awesome even in the So-Cal heat. I see he has a few postive feedbacks now on the second page of the feedback section. :smile: :smile:

Aluminum rad.

PTS Xtreme transmissions sell a nice drop in for 500, Mark H /BuickGN sells a drop in as well for under 5, Nick at AZGN sells a Alum.rad and a stock replacement(400 ,, 100 returned when he recieves stock=core) with 3 cores not alum. but works great, GBody sell a drop in as well. Save yourself 200 bucks over the Griffin by going with any of the above mentioned vendors.

I just did this: TurboBuicks.com - Upgrade To The F-Body Radiator

Car runs much cooler, radiator was $109. external oil cooler was $50 plus misc hardware. My fan used to kick on and stay on for over 3min. Now it stays on for avg of 28sec. per cycle. This is at idle.
