Anyone using Griffin Aluminum Radiators?

[V6UnderPressure]

Was looking at this radiator, due to the fact I am remotely mounting my trans cooler, and this radiator still retains the oil cooler. My question would be, what are the options for running the dual spals? I don't see any brackets sold for this radiator. Anyone running one? How is the fit and finish? Any trimming required? Here is the item in question:

We've used them in dirt track cars and most of them are litterally glued together. Here's a link to a better alternative and you can get a tripple pass which will keep it cooler.:biggrin: Measure the size of the core and then pick what you want.

You should consider Alradco.
Peter's (RedC5) stuff is made in the US and priced very competitively.
In addition he supports the board.

I bought a griffin once when I was in southern ca. what a waste of a LOT of money! They have what's called a very dense fin count (more than 17fpi fins per inch). They might be great for circle track or other high speed cars, but they suck for a daily driver. The high fin count doesn't allow good flow through characteristics at all.
Oh, and the oil cooler fittings were wrong.

hello; I tend to agree with TurboDave. I got one fairly recently with claims it was the best and made in the US. Since the install I've learned the product is not totally made in the US (as in the past) and it didn't cool as good as told to me and it was not cheap. Another thing I have a pod temp. gauge and it's off a bit. I use a OTC from time to time and it showed a diff. of aprox. 10 degrees. I'm keeping it as I spent the money and am going to box in the rad. and deal with what ever happens.
