I finally put some time into my teener this weekend, and built the mount and shroud for new griffin radiator. I still need to cut a hole for the latch, but other than that it is complete.

It is a closed radiator, with no pressure valve up front. That is in the back, and as stated bleeders on each end are recommended. And it came that way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Nice sheet metal work. I'm assuming the radiator mounts are just as nice. Do you have pics of the complete installation? What radiator did you use as I need to start sourcing cooling items for my V8 installation.


The mount and shroud is actually one in the same. there are 4 bolts that go through behind the front bumper, and if I feel it is necessary, i can run a couple through the trunk floor as well.

The radiator is from Griffin Radiators, found here. I used the 13x22" with the inlet and outlet positioned for my system. It was a little pricy, but very nice, well built, and couldn't fit better.
