    Suggestions for Fox Radiator Upgrade

    Hey guys I'm looking for an aluminium rad for my fox and was wondering what everyone is running. There are a ton on the market and not so many reviews for them so if you could share what you have and your review of it I would appreciate it. I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on a rad so if any one has a suggestions for the best bang for your buck that would be great.

    I've used this Griffin for 8 years now. It's a big 3-core.

    I bought one from laurel mountain mustang. 3 core mishumito is the name. Not sure if my spelling is right. I paid less than 200 and it was nice. Lou recomended it to me. Said he sold a ton for fox bodies. Worked great!!

    How was the fit? I will be retaining the stock fan for the time being and want to make sure the fan shroud will fit properly

    How was the fit? Did the shroud fit properly? I read that there have been some leak issues but in all cases the rad was replaced by the manufacture for free

    Can't answer that. I moved to electric fans when I bought the Griffin.

    How in depth was the switch to electric fans and what products did you use. I would like to do the switch but with paying for a wedding and a house funds for the toys are limited right now

    Fitment was great! I bought an aftermarket fan too. I did have to buy a thinner aftermarket overflow bottle. Here are some pics. The black bracket came with the fan.

    i had a h/c/i 306 with 4.10s long ago and it used to get really hot driving down the highway. i was seeing 220-230+ and it was very scary. i put in a Be Cool rad(same size as stock)and it ran 160 even on a 80 degree day
