Aluminum Radiator

[RLE80L48]

Anyone using one? Are they worth using? Which brand fits the best and what mods are needed to make them fit?

I have a Griffen alum rad and it will solve all you cooling problems. They are about 650.00 if I remember right. There were some posts about alum rads for much less a few months ago but I don't know who sells them. Someone will probably have the info on them..stay tuned.

These are universal fit race rads with two 1-inch rows. They will require some bracket fabrication/modification and they do not have auto trans cooler and they do not have draincock and they will probably require different radiator hose(s). There are several posts & threads here about these issues.

$170 usa made by Northern ... the 31” Chevy is likely one for most C3

GRIFFIN IS THE WAY!

I PAID $925 SHIPPED TO MY HOUSE IT CAME WITH EVERYTHING NEEDED TO CONNECT, IT HAS THE TRANS COOLER AND NEEDS NO MODS WHATSOEVER JUST SLIDE IT IN . NO NEW HOSES NOTHING. DIRECT REPLACEMENT PKG. IF MONEY ISNT AN ISSUE DONT GO CHEAP IT USUALLY COST YOU MORE IN THE LONG RUN.
