Fixen to start cutting.Its got a 22 inch core hole and gotta open it up.Tired of overheating and no room for fans!

 
Bought a 29.5 x18.63 Griffin.It has a 26 inch core.Bought a fan and shroud kit supposed to have 4,000 cfm with 2 12's.Some people say a Champion 26 inch core but the Griffin is made in North carolina
 
That's about what is in mine, I think it is an even 28x19, but it a dual 1.5" Nascar app.
 
Cool !! Seems our dirt track racers prefer the Griffin's over everything.. They are tuff and cool there high revving engines. I hope this get's you on the street to enjoy some cruising.

I put a 28x19 in my 68 440/505 fish. the core was the same size as the hole in the cradle, side tanks are wider. can attest to the toughness of the griffins, I pulled the floor jack out from under the car(trying to move it sideways) and dropped the car, bowed the radiator
( bent ) it up in the middle about an 1 1/2", along w/ the splash pan. straightened out the splash pan and repainted it. the radiator is holding up so far-no leaks !! took pics of it on my phone
