Which Radiator?

RoadWarrior · 05-12-2002, 11:43 PM

After spending the winter doing up a bit of an engine im starting to have my car warm up more and more as it gets better outside. So now im looking to get a new radiator. So which rad do you guys reccomend. You can take a look at my profile for all the info on my car. Should i just get a plain 3 core? should i go with a griffin or something simmilar? What do you guys reccomend?
I am also thinking of adding nitrous (150-200hp) and new pistons within the next year or 2. Thanks for the help guys as its much appreciated.
PS this is goin in the '82

I don't know how much money you want to spend, but I personally bought the aluminum Griffin 27"x19" and love it. My car stays extremely cool. I paid $180 for mine from Summit. It fits in the stock brackets, but it is much thicker than the stock POS. I am using it with 20 percent coolant, water wetter and a 17" SPAL electric fan.
