I just found a rattle can spray paint that looked pretty close, and used that. Came out looking prety good. If I ever have the motor out and have some extra $$ , then I can have a body shop do a real nice job on the entire engine bay.

I had no such luck finding a green to match my car. So I painted everything black. I guess I'll be cutting out a section of what I just painted

Yeah cutting on my radiator support was the hardest thing to bring myself to do, once you cut it its cut.

Im pretty sure summit is the cheapest, especially since you only pay the handling charge vs shipping from other places. Radiator isn't the cheapest or smallest box to ship.

I think i saw some on that big auction site a while back, but summit will take care of you if you get it, and its dented, or screwed up, will a seller on ebay???


Good luck, Chris

It's really not that bad of a price, I just spent all of our money set aside for this. I paid $600 for a BECool for my 72 Chevelle that I had, but they threw in an awesome BECool cap for free.....********

Ahh, Griffin does not come with a cap, or a drain, and you have to figure out what your gonna do with the stem vent for crossover pipe from heads.

I dont really like the griffin caps.. but i guess its only a rad cap.

Good luck, Chris

That's my excuse to the wife, we'll see if it works

I used the high temp gloss black engine paint where the turbo and hot parts will be and gloss black plastikote paint. Then I cleared most of the bay
