'Anyone here running a Griffin radiator in your thirdgen?
Finally went to install my new Cold Case radiator today. I was excited because this car is so close to ready to fire up.
It's a 2-row with 1-1/4" tubes. Looks awesome. Made in China. Well the damn thing wouldn't fit without modifications that I'm not interested in doing, so I'm sending it back. So.........I ordered a Griffin "Exact Fit" radiator. Man that thing is expensive; twice as much as the Cold Case. Only a single-row, but with 1-1/2" tubes. Aluminum. Made in USA. I hope it's gonna do the job. I wanted something better than the stock radiator. 'Anyone running one of these? I looked at Dewitts, but they also require some modification, at least to the rubber isolators to fit. I really want to keep my original L-69 top bracket/shroud. It wouldn't fit over the Cold Case even with modified isolators...

I've got one of their MegaCool radiators coming. It is a 2 row, 1 1/4" tubes and 3" wide so I'm not sure if it would benefit you, but I'll do a write up. I also want to keep the upper shroud / dual fan assembly so we'll see how that works out for me.
