New Griffin radiator pics

[Rick88ss]

Some pics of my new Griffin radiator. It's a dual pass 2 row (1 1/4" tubes) with an aluminum shroud and Spal 2300 cfm. I still have to make some mounting brackets for it.

Wow that's pretty nice and real close to stock location for the outlets, how much did that cost you?

[Rick88ss]

a pretty penny....or two.

[MikeZ]

Thats nice Rick. Was that a custom order or do they stock that size?

didn't screw up like satan I see ;P

Wow! thats nice! pretty much just like mine. slightly narrower and shorter but same thickness. By it being smaller it lines up much better than mine did too. I think mine cost me about 220-250 cant remember. I love that alluminum shroud you have though. That is the shit!

I hate you :P

It doesnt look like you have a/c. But I see a condenser? Anyhow it looks great! price, where did you buy it and part #?

[Rick88ss]

Ultimately I want to get the AC working so I'm leaving the condenser in there.
The radiator is a semi custom order. I think the core size is off the shelf but the inlet/outlet size and location is custom. I also wanted it without a radiator cap. The radiator is about $300,the fan is $120,custom shroud and install is about $150. Now let's see if it works as good as it looks. It also looks like I'm gonna be able to use the stock hoses. Just have to trim them a little.

Thanks.......Summit racing also sells aluminum radiator shrouds. You gotta check the sizes they have

any shop with a press-brake can bend the sheet to fit, cutting it to size is trivial, probably cost $50 to have one made locally

"wa wa wee wee! very nice!"

[jn1cz]

Yep that's cool. Is there a reason people aren't using the AFCO radiator anymore? Yikes just checked the price and it's up to $230 and shipping.
Hey Rick it looks like your hood barely closes with those ic pipes. Got more pics? I've got the same core and the piping on mine is a screwed up mix of 2", 2.25", & 2.5" and there's one hellacious bend I'd like to change. Mine looks just like the JWT kit but surely they would change pipe size in midstream.

I don't like griffon rads because they are not rebuildable, or at least mine is not. It sprung a leak, and no one could fix it, and it was out of warranty. I think the tubes were epoxied to the header plate or something. Its been a while, but I have stayed away since. They might have changed their design, but after being burned once...
