Not ten minutes ago did I go to Auto Zone and buy the aluminum F-Body radiator.

Best bang for the buck, from what I hear.

You probably already know this.... but, the F-body radiator is an aluminum radiator with plastic tanks versus aluminum tanks on the Be-Cool / Griffin. For the money you cant beat the F-body. Something like $115.00 at Autozone. Good Luck.

I just put in an F-body radiator a few weeks ago. It still creeps up to 200 when I have the AC on and it is sitting still, but it takes much longer than the stocker. One thing is sure, once the car gets moving, the temp drops like a rock right down to 168. The stock radiator took a long time to drop. Stock IC. I expect the dual fan to help the creep up when idling. I'm happy with the results.

I installed a F body rad in my TType about 3 months ago and just got the ac fixed. With the air on it will go up as high as 185 deg and no more so far. Thats in mild traffic. No AC on 165-175 deg.
Thats with a stock fan, stock IC.Its the best radiator I have purchased so far and i have owned a couple.

No internal oil cooler so you will have to run a external one if you want one. Other than that it is direct fit.

what year ?

I asked for 92 Z28 350. Direct fit as said. I got the aluminum one with the plastic tanks.
