Default All Aluminum Radiators

Just an FYI griffin also has radiators for LS1 cars. We have three standard sizes for the F-bods 2-Row 1.00", 2-row 1.25", 2-Row 1.50". Even the smallest one is about double the stock fluid capicity. Only the 2-row 1.50" radiator will require slight modification to get it in the stock location. Core width on that is 3.18" and outside tanks at the widest point is 3.50" this is a huge radiator and is about the same core size as what is in our winston cup cars.

What are the overall dimensions, core and tank included?

How does your Pro-stock type radiator compare on cooling capacity? Looking for one slightly shorter, like 17" tall instead of the normal ~19".

Double pass verus standard cross flow?

etc, etc

It's a new radiator for me. Or i cut the tanks off my current one, trim a few rows off and make new tanks.

What can you do??

Unfortunately, no pics (I don't even have the kit yet). There are a couple people I can ask, as long as the stock shroud still fits in the stock location, I think I will be allright. I'll try to find out this week. How much $$$$ are we talking for a 700 hp capacity (the big dog)?

Man the big dog is reall big 3.18" core vs. factory at just under 1". I know someone down in miami that was running a twin turbo setup in a third gen and took our 2-row 1.00" and used it even in traffic the car never ran above 210 in the summer. Not to say this would work for you but
all of our radiators mount in factory position and accept factory shroud. I am posting Ron Shurkus Email address he raced back in the day and he is our most knowledgeable sales guy when it comes to radiators RSHURKUS@GRIFFINRAD.COM

I would be interested in the largest radiator that I could fit with the Incon kit as well.

Thanks,

I'm still wondering what kind of $$$ we are talking about. I have an SLP now, but would still like a little more room (plus my SLP is slightly damaged and I don't know if I can fix it - broken over flow jug nipple). LG motorsports is selling one for like $700 or something, and the be-cool ($" core) I was looking at was $550, so if you are in that price range, I will probably attempt the repair.

Thanks for the info.
