Have a Griffin 22" in my SB Duster drag car (half-filled block, 18" elec puller, no shroud), plenty adequate; it likes a coolant temp of 120-130 staging. Might see 160 or so on the return road.
Zero leaks or problems with either radiator, and the Griffin's been in there since around 1996.
Looking at that ECP site, the radiators look like pretty screamin' deals if you don't need the electric fan setup.
My only reservation with alum radiators is the non-OEM look in an otherwise restored car, but for hot rods, no worries there.


How did you bolt the bigger 26" radiator in place of the 22"? Did you just drill new holes in the radiator support and use nuts and bolts through it or?
