Title: Griffin radiator cost
Post by: johns2000 on 2008-07-08 03:05
WOW, I just ordered a radiator from Griffin for my wagon and the 460 conversion, $630. bucks. Doesn't that seem a little high to you guy's?

Wait till you see it. You will want to hug it. Quality, quality, quality. You get what you pay for, plus peace of mind that it will perform.

 well aint nuttin wrong with recoring an old radiator if it's rebuildable, but if your like me , and didn't have one worth rebuilding and would have to drive 100 miles to atlanta and run around looking for one in a wrecking yard , then might as well put the money else where and make it look  good.  aluminum disapates heat better then brass , are welded verus soldiered . but what ever works works. just my 2 cents.
