Radiator upgrade question
For a 351C 4V what are considered the 'best' or most popular radiator upgrades (including pull type fans) and hoses? I have heard a lot about Griffin is this considered the bombproof and what are the alternatives on hosing? I have seen the blue goodyear hose, is there a high quality braided stainless steel available as well? I have seem something in Summit Racing called Spectre but did not look high quality. Any suggestions welcome.
I should add I have twin fans on front of radiator (bought from Enzo Alibrandi- Cobra Accessories already mounted). thanks Ed |
Ed,
I had a Griffin and it eventually started to leak at one of the welds. I contacted AFCO Racing and they modified one of their standard two row aluminum; very similar to the Griffin but does not use epoxy on the tanks. AFCO modified the radiator by closing off the fill cap, giving me upper and lower 16AN fittings, and a drain petcock. Total cost was around 255.00. Very nice radiator. So I am using braided stainless hose with a Derale spiral puller fan. Pusher fans do not work as well as a pullers and actually create less flow when used in conjunction with a puller. Roscoe |
