    starting problems

    I wonder about timing, is it set correctly?? of course, you said the motor wont even turn??? Was it rebuilt?? Maybe the machine shop didnt take enough off the cylinders.. Just a thought.

    Griffin Aluminum Radiator (PICS)

    Not sure if this is the (only) difference, but the Racing ones have a high amount of cooling fins between the cores. Its OK for short (racing) applications, but theres not enough air flow to really cool off a street motor for long drives. (I think)
