Looking for suggestion on which aluminum radiator 65 Cuda

[65goldcuda]

Hi, i have a 18" high by 25" wide aluminmum radiator right now (about 2.5" thick) but it has a pin-hole leak. So I am looking to replace it. Thinking of a griffin http://www.summitracing.com/parts/gri-8-70038 wondering if you have any other suggestions?? i have a 425hp 360 so stock won't work for me. I also need the trans cooler connections.

Have you looked at Champion radiators?

A stock radiator will work if you have it re-cored with a "high flow efficiency" core, I did thiswith a 1966 22" rad, stock 4 blade fan and no shroud....works great with my built 340...so many people go aluminum when you can do this and still have your radiator fit like a glove and look good....plus I have heard that copper cools better than aluminum :glasses7:

I had not looked at them, but because you suggested it..I did. Turns out the best solution for me ended up being the Griffin (it has the correct inflow and outflow pipes and the trans cooler).

Thanks guys.
