any cooling issues with FMIC
if i run a stock radiator (LT1) will i have cooling issues with the FMIC blocking the air flow for the radiator?
should i buy a aftermarket griffin? motor is still being pieced together. will i have to cut the support to fit this radiator with a s-trim setup? i would like to have enough room to swap out pullies and mess around under there. with the stock radiator and fans/shroud it was almost impossible. i'm just going to bolt up the fan straight to the radiator as i ditched the shroud.
I have seen threads saying guys have replaced the stock radiator with advanced or auto bone OE replacements. i'm sure i know this answer but are they total junk?? i threw my stock radiator away cause it was pretty dirty and i rarely ever dirve the car so i'm sure it had sluge in it built up over the years even though i flushed the coolant system acouple times.

Air for the radiator comes up from under the front end so there should not be any issue. I'm running a front mount w/stock radiator & single Procharger fan - no issues for the last 2 years.
