Thanks! I know Don used Griffin's. The problem I guess I really have is what model/part number. Or if someone can give me the dimensions, that would help me out also.

Thanks again!

When do you need it? I may have a custom unit, built off the dimensions of the griffin, made by Evans. It is 100% aluminum. The expoxy used on the Griffins lets go after some time. This radiator keeps the engine (475hp) cool on the road coase in Las Vegas summers.

I won't need a radiator till around the end of April.

Ed,

I have an old Griffin laying in the garage. Let me know if you still need the dimensions. I am keeping the custom Evans unit I told you about earlier. Sorry, I genuinely thought I was not going to need it. $915 is high for an epoxied piece. the Evans is 100% tig welded aluminum and cost only $700. I got to desing in some custom touches too. I am sure they still have the drawings. For a fan I use the Black Magic. Keeps the car cool in Las Vegas on the track in summer time.

Thanks,

Ed,

I don't have a qualified suggestion on the radiator because my SPF is different than your CRII. But I do have a suggestion on a fan for you that should bring a smile to your wallet and a controlled temperature to your engine.

The 94 to 98 Lincoln MarkVIII had a electric fan that pulls more air than any aftermarket fan you can buy. It has two speeds and moves 5000 cfm on high and I believe 3800 cfm on low. The fan can be bought out of a junkyard for $30 or so. I believe the 94-96 cars had only a 3800 cfm unit and Lincoln upgraded them to the 5000 cfm units in 97 and 98. Be sure to use robust wiring and relays to feed it because it can pull north of 50 amps when it grunts.

Good luck on your build. After you choose let us know how it works out.
