Mike C Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 No easy bolt ons, but any of the Griffin 24x19's will fit, you build mounts. The single 1" tube is the cheapest, but at minimum I woul go the double 1" tube which they say is good to 400 hp at $189. The double 1.25" tube is good to 600hp at $259.

Guest 305240 Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 If the old one isn't cutting it, that means it's got a problem. My 85 started to overheat. I did the usual, waterpump, thermostat, flushed the cooling system, all to no avail. I finially took the rad down to my local rad shop. He flow tested it and said it was flowing fine. I talked him into taking a tank off and checking it again. They all were flowing even. I asked him to run a rod thru one. Boy, the crud and junk that come out of it was shocking. I ordered a new Modine with a lifeting warrentee for 145 bux. I had it in 3 hours. Overheating problem solved. Even flow tests can be decieving. I'm willing to bet a stock new one would take care of your problem. But, those aluminum ones do look sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 If you do decide to go AL... Ron Davis all the way. I found my invoice the other day finally. Item on the invoice is 1c-cu2616 description "26163 Custom 1.375" outlets" total price 254.00 with 17 bucks for freight. the 26163 I believe is the item code on the website. -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azguy Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 JTR offers a aluminum radiator for the z and the zx and sells the brackets, hoses, adaptors, etc... can't get a more straight forward bolt on kit than this imo. http://www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Parts_DATZ_Radiator_Kit.html I am currently running a zx aluminum radiator with brackets supplied by jtr on my 83 LT1 and I am very pleased.
