Does anyone here have a griffin aluminium radiator?

I found these from Summit for $180, they are 2-row aluminium, but no trans cooler. They are just a GM 31 X 19", so I guess they would fit, maybe with some fabbing. Also, I would have to buy an aftmkt trans cooler, but thats not a big deal. Does anyone know if they will cool good?

Bought one about a month ago. Cools great, w/a 160* stat my cars runs about 160-165 down the road. That's the same size I got too 31x19, fits fine.

Have you run the A/C? thats why I need one, the car overheats with the AC on.

Hey Ward, what Summit Number are you looking at? I only see:

GRI-1-25202-X Chevrolet: 24 in. length x 19in. height radiator ... $181.95
GRI-1-25242-X Chevrolet: 27 1/2 in. length x 19 in. height radiator ...

Is that second one (25242) actually 31" wide? I'm looking to order one as well but I want to get the correct one...

Thanks,
Steve
