Griffin Radiator in my '32???
....The guy building my '32 wants to put in a Griffin 2 row, 1 1/2" aluminum radiator {he is a Griffin dealer}. Anyone using one??? Are they equal to the U.S Radators Desert Cooler, Triple pass??? Thanks a bunch, Bill.....

I dont have any personal experience with Griffin, but my cousin put a griffin aluminum radiator cooling a 350 in his drag truck. He seems to be happy with it, said it runs cooler than the stock radiator. I really dont know how they compare to the U.S. Radiators Desert Cooler.Never go in reverse when you can go forward.

I have a Griffen radiator in my '34, 350, small blower. It looks good, works great, maybe even a little too great. I can run some days without the fan - however I live in the mountains where it stays cool.

I have got one for my 32 roadster. I got a really good deal at the time as it was only $50 more then a Walker or US radiatior. Also managed to get a Griffin rad shroud off EBay for it. Roger

Aluminum radiators be pretty, but you might want to think about servicability in the field.
Not much can be done to an aluminum radiator if it pops a seam or leaks.
The old standbys like Walker, US Radiator etc. can be repaired by any small town radiator shop.C9
