what kind of radiator should I get..?

89Domindart · July 3rd, 2006, 12:09 AM

I have a stang that may see daily driving in atlanta ga traffic, which is stop and go sometimes.. i dont THINK i ever had a real problem w overheating but its been a while since I drove the car and I cant have probs..

I need to replace the radiator and I thought of something of an upgrade (maybe to benefit other modifications in the fture).. or maybe just to better off the cars cooling..

what is a good upgrade in ur opinion, the three row radiators u see or the alum 2 rows that are supposd to be better..??

>> how about these i found at ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...02490894QQrdZ1

i have a Fluidyne that works great. its a little costly but it looks great and you will never outgrow in terms of over modding your engine and needing a bigger one. good luck

I'm using a Summit universal alum radiator w/ my bbf. It's the 31" Ford version, 2-row alum and it works very well

I have a griffin. Theyre expensive but well worth it IMO.

Any fully welded all aluminum construction radiator with 1" 2 cores will work just fine.

Griffin just went out of business so they are not an option anymore. It sucks too because I have a Griffin in my car and love it. I guess they had some internal problems in the company.

That sucks. I like mine and wouldnt have hesitated to buy another for any other performance applications.

I know. I found out a couple months back when I tried to get a radiator for my car. I ended up running a factory radiator at the first race and then tracking down a used Griffin. Maybe they will restructure the company and open up again.
