Good god man! 1" !?? How thick is that Radiator?? I installed a Champion 3 row that lists as 2.75" think. I had 2 3/8" clearance between rad and face of water pump pulley. I haven't started the motor yet, but am forced to run a flex fan at this point (Derale HP fan). My other BIG obstruction is an AC compressor from Classic Air. The front of it sticks out the same as the water pump. The flex fan may/may not provide adequate cooling here in TX. We'll see.
Nice. That's the first time I've seen that setup. This requires a pin on hood...doesn't it??
Thanks! Yes you need hood pins because the latch mechanism comes out. I also made a filler piece so you're not looking down at the radiator, it's all painted black now. It was a lot of work but I don't worry about clearance or engine temp any longer. The Griffin is about 3 1/4" thick if I remember correctly.
Smooth work man. I like seeing new stuff.
