twistex Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 ok well i read about the arizona z radiator, the jtr one. personally i sen the jtr its cool it fits perfect in between teh stock frame rails. dist inside to inside of frame rail is 25.50 inches .. jtr radiator is 25.25 anyways its like 140 then another 60 for the mount kit. so 200 bucks for direct bolt in radiator. well i wanted to be different and gamble a little bit. i ordered a 18.5 tall 22 wide raditor all alum tig welded from afco. anyways pics are just showing it where i want it held by zip ties lol. anyways it is for a gm i belive but inlet and outlet are how i wanted it. i will keep you posted. if anyone has one of these installed let me know how you mounted. up for suggestions. thanks front Inside Top Top Front anyways there we go. I also need to get a fan maybee a push and a pull electric not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I suggest that you DON'T SPRAY or WIPE Mercury on it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I suggest that you DON'T SPRAY or WIPE Mercury on it.... Yeah...otherwise it will "Rust".. Looks really nice. I would make a 'cradle' for the bottom with rubber 'cups' to hold it at the tanks, and then do something similar for the top.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I bought the Griffin for mine. I TIG welded my own brackets to the side so that it will bolt in same as the stock radiator. I have also decided to replace the outlet with a 1 5/8 90 degree aluminum bend so I am waiting on that. I bought one of the bigger Griffins (27 1/2" wide with 1 1/4" cores) for my Camaro. It is installed and works great. Temps never over 200 and that is with a crappy plastic fan and no shroud. Next job is to switch back to clutch fan and adapt the OEM shroud.

evildky Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 looks great, I'd suggest like mike said just get some angle aluminum and weld it to the side drill a coupla holes and bolt it to the core support just like the stocker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistex Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 nawi think i will keep the zip ties LOL .. j.k .. yeh well i heard that if you dont soft mount with rubber the chasis are known to flex and you can crack or brakes the radiators ? i doubt that will happen anytime soon. problem with tig welding is i dont have a tig welder. im currently in tig welding class and its funny cause i was just learnin how to weld alum last night .. my weld came out pretty nice ! thanks for input.
