Started putting the custom harness in but have major problems with it. Bought from a forum sponsor. I won't go into detail yet as I'm sure he will help me out.
I've been following your progress with the lsa swap. Great work so far! I'm about to change my ls3/truck FEAD to LSA. My car keeps eating up 6 rib belts with the amount of power its making. Looks like I'll be cutting my crossmember to make the low mount compressor fit. My swap was done a few years ago before most of the aftermarket support was available, but that's hotrodding!
Sorry this hasn't been updated in awhile. A lot in my life has happened these last couple months but hopefully will be back at it soon. Today I ordered a Ricks Restomod Tank w/ CTS-V pump module along w a Griffin radiator setup. Hope to get you some progress reports over the weekend!

Just a heads up, I went thru 4 griffin radiators. Every one of them would leak after a few miles, where the cooling tubes enter the tanks. They are epoxy, regardless of how they are marketed, its true. BUT other than ruining paint and making a mess, they never ever overheated. I'm currently using dewitts with good results so far. Good luck, cant wait for more updates!

I've heard about that with Griffin as well. Most were from purchases several years ago (possibly a bad run, who knows). But, all the recent build threads (on many websites) I've followed haven't heard folks complain about Griffin radiator leaks. Just like most parts, some work great for some and so so for others. Heard from couple guys I know that they've had leak issues with Be Cool and Entropy (goes to show you, any brand can potentially leak).
I personally think my Griffin radiator/fan setup looks great. Could it leak, we'll see in the future.

I purchased mine from a very reputable vendor so I don't foresee any problems if I get a defective one. Thanks for the insight! On another note, my AC compressor is a Denso 10S17F fixed compressor
