Griffin Radiator Part #:GRI-1-26272-X
The first question is, why are you replacing yours? Does it leak? Or is it not cooling well enough for your stroker?
For most cars, the stock replacement is hard to beat. It's cheap, it works, it fits, it lasts. What more could you ask for?
If you need a little more, you can often find a HD cooling option, with an extra row of cooling tubes. Again, it's cheap, it works, it fits, it lasts.
If you need a lot more, then what you really want is a Griffin 2 row alum replacement. It's a lot more expensive, but sometimes you just have to have that. Don't let the 2 row fool you. Stock tubes are round. Griffen tubes are oval. The oval shape has more internal area and greater contact area with the cooling fins, so it flows better and transfers heat better.
Ron Davis aluminum radiator, good unit
Will a 31" by 19" fit in a fox body car though?
