Default What aftermarket radiator are you using?

I have to order a radiator for my 55, I am going with an over sized cross flow that will need to have some good puller fans. I have a good size intercooler in front of it so I want something that will do the job. Turbo 6.0 Thanks

I use the Fluidyne that is the direct replacement for the FD RX7 and use the stock twin puller fans and a air seperator tank on a N/A LS1. It's kept it's cool for over 8 years.

Either Griffin HP series or Griffin dual pass.

Twice used the Griffin HP and my L92 and my stroked LS2 to 427 cube motor struggled to get to 180 degrees. No AC.

I have seen these also and they look like a great idea, It has mixed results when you start to ask about it on the internet. I hate to feel like the guinea pig and it not work out. I am having it custom mounted due to not being able to use the stock core support, so it would be a real pain to have to replace it if it doesn't perform well.

I am using a Howe Racing radiator, these are made in USA in standard sizes or to your specs. Mine is in the front trunk of a Porsche 914 cooling my ls6 (mid-engine), and is very effective.

Don't make the mistake I did and cheap out on the fans. If you are running Ac u will need 4000 cfm. I love my champion rad but the fans that came with it are not strong enough . So I found some slightly used derale H.O fans on ebay. If I had to do it over again , I would've bought my rad without fans and bought the derale set up new.
