how hot is too hot

Friend of mine let me borrow a US raditator to try and make it work. The bottom outlet was on the wrong side but other than that it fit. I wasn't to happy about running a hose across or near the crankshaft pulley. I know I could have without problems but just went ahead with a Griffin. The US radiator looks like a well built radiator that's for sure.

Wow that's weird the bottom outlet was on the wrong side, I think there was
a year change on A bodies but I could be wrong. The only botched thing
on mine is the overlfow tube is on the wrong side, but thats not too bad.

I looked at Griffin but caught US when they had a sale and I got 20% off
so that was the deal maker for me.

Let me know how you Griffin works out, I know they make a nice piece.
