I am not knocking anyone's choices ...

But I live about 2 hours from Griffin Radiators. Quite a few friends of mine got SUPER deals on them ... and a few let Griffin use their old original Ford radiator as a guide to make the NEW aluminum ones. ALMOST every one of them has had problems ... if they DRIVE their cars over 4 or 5 thousand miles. Mounts crack, a few just would not cool ... ( they glue these thing together ) and some just leaked badly after a few miles.

GRIFFIN ... did work with them ... and replaced or tried to repair the radiators.

Most have gone back to Walker or another brand of brass/copper

My Walker in the roadster is a 1988 ... issue. Been on the road ( 56,000 miles ) since late 1993. No problems. I did have to install a shroud in 2000 after I installed the 430 HP engine. Never needed one with the 350 HP engine.

Just my experiences ... Your results MAY VARY ...
