New radiator

Got a Griffin radiator which will hopefully keep the temps down. Looks like my original shroud will fit without a hitch. Had to remove the original brackets and use ones for the new radiator. Upper brackets held by bolts until I get them welded.

Congratulations on the new aluminum radiator! I had a new one installed about 2 years ago, and it took care of my "HOT" problems RIGHT NOW!

That's so purty Dan! Don't forget to run distilled water...I don't care what others say, it's not very acidic and will take a lot longer to ruin a radiator than the calcium in tap water. And if you ever plan on running the aluminum heads you might as well start running dexcool in it now

Are those the horns mounted beside the radiator? To increase airflow to the radiator? Give me an idea for my hot motor...

The radiator works well, temp stays below 180. Usually 160-170.
