I've had three of those Griffin radiators fail. Two under warranty and one not. They act like they never have any failures in the LS swap line. It was mounted with well nuts on one side and bolts on the other like to OE is. I eventually switched to a universal triple pass and made rubber mounts. So far so good.

Bummer! Seems like most people’s experience with them are the same

Next the t56 started having some issues after a night out of playing. GW helped get it out of the car. Love having him help on it.

Drove 9hr round trip to drop the t56 off at Texas Drivetrain Performance in Dallas. Jason and his crew tore it down on the spot and reviewed everything with me! Had it shipped home

Got it installed and it feels so much better and more positive! Kept the LS7 clutch and its doing great

Ordered a Vintage Air kit before going on paternity leave, hoping to install it while I was off. No luck on that happening. Time to wait till it cools off and knock it out then
