hey what do you guys think of the griffin brand of radiators i just spent 450 on one and hope it holds up to the hot cali summers

 

see if you can cancel your order....


get a "generic" GM one instead of the "custom fit" one..... they both fit the same and have the same radiator outlet locations...

the only diff is one heater hose bung, and $250.


either run a "old style" heater setup, spending $12 or so for a screw in bung... or spend ~$15 - $25 and have someone TIG a nipple onto the radiator when you get it.....






but yea, both keep the car cool.. even if you have a 550+hp demon.

 

yea my friend has a generic one that doesnt even keep his 350 cool too late its already installed and the temp gauge wont leave 150

 

"doesnt keep his 350 cool" and "wont leave 150" makes absolutly no sense. 150 is too cold.

 

its my car that hes talking about. the standard GM radiator is not enough to keep a 350 cool. its always sitting up over 220 no matter what im doing, unless im on the freeway. his car whether we are cruising in a parking lot or driving at normal speeds will not get any hotter than 180, which is pretty nice.

im looking into buying the same radiator but i will be buying dual electric fans

 

I think what he means is buy the generic GM radiator from griffin as opposed to the Camaro specific one and you will save a couple hundred bucks...

Have fun

 

I'm pretty sure MrDude_1 is talking about a uni. fit for GM cars aftermarket alum rad. Not a stock GM rad.

In saying GM he means outlet on bottom pass side, inlet on top driver's side.

I'm glad somebody has money to throw around, cause a darn sure dont.

I got the summit 31" x 19" alum uni fit for GM cars rad for $180. No heater hose barb or trans cooler. $50 trans cooler, and $4 plumper pipe strap, $2 hardware store bolts, and I was good to go, and only spending $234.

Plumb heater like it should be.. One hose to water pump, other hose to intake.

 

exactly.

 

Griffin --- YES...
