I am putting a sbc which is basically stock into a minor I would like to know what radiators other people have used (which cool it ok) into there own cars so that I can try to find one that will work in mine :wink:

I've got a Serck Motorsports one that's good for 600bhp here

but it definitely needs a bigger fan.

I also have the original nearly new rad that came out before the rebuild which is a Griffin Aluminium high capacity which cooled the car better.

Can't use the Griffin because the new rack gets in the way. If you're interested make me an offer before I get my lazy @ss onto Ebay :D

The rad is 19 inches wide by 22 inches high by 4 inches wide over the header tank. It doesn't have the fan shown or a rad cap. You can find the manufacturer at http://www.griffinradiator.com.

Cheers,

Ian

Thanks for the quick response mate I have had a measure up and your rad is way too tall I'm afraid ! What I need is something which is about 30" wide by about 14" tall !

Thanks again mate

Docking makes ones for the GT40
They are 12 * 24 inches

Said to be good for about 600hp

But about £400
