    i believe mavaholic's aluminum radiator was supposed to be a stock replacement size radiator.

    I think you can get one that will bolt right in with fan shroud holes and all from Griffin but they are pricey like $500.00.

    Griffin does make a direct replacement radiator. Price was $552 thru Summit last year. Part# is GRI-7-570BU-FXX. It is a 2 row 1 1/2" tubes and has the flange to mount a fan shroud. Most of the universal ones are only 1 1/4" tubes.

    becareful on some of those radiators "stock replacements" from girffin because some don't come with tranny line provisions. so you will need to run a external tranny cooler, which you should anyways. just fyi

    I was going ot ask a radiator question just like this today, guess I don't have to. That Griffin one sounds a little expensive. Since he is local here in Phoenix I will go see what he will sell me one for.

    this rad won't fit without cutting the whole front brace off right? ... looks like you don't have one... what does the whole compartment look like?
