Get it! that's a great deal, make sure it's not a stock replacement and it is their high performance(all aluminum) one, If it is get it! Go now! mine was very very expensive

Price is still kinda steep compared to the summit.

Adam, Either you can buy the $500 C&R radiator for $220 or you can buy the $160 summit one, You get what you pay for and this one is no brainer~, If you don't get it i will jump on it. I will make it fit on the 91

My new one is going in when I have the time for it. If this one leaks then I'll get a new one and sell it then look at something else.

The problem is no matter what you spend they all seem to leak in the same area except the oem style.

Are you referring to Mishimotos or all aftermarket rads?

Both my oems leak in that place too

All of them, I've read it over and over here and on corral. 94/95 GT's have this weird problem. It has to be a chassis design flaw, way to many 94/95's have this issue with no answers as to why it happens so much.

You are in the minority then.

Myself and a couple others I know have ran Griffins for years with absolutely no problems.

Just installed a 3 core Champion I got for $230 shipped. Very pleased so far. Fit like stock and looks like a good quality piece.

 

[hollywoodstang]

my OEM never leaked....and my aftermarket C&R never leaked either...I did not know these cars have that problem

There are a few people here running fluidyne with no issues for years but the track record remains the same for aftermarket rads and it isn't good. I would love to run a 2 or 3 row rad on mine just for those steaming hot summers.
But here is a quick quote from a corral member about his griffin

My quality Griffin leaks just like the Fluidyne and Mishimoto. I got one cheap ($179 shipped) form an outfit that makes intercoolers mostly. Don't remember the name. It'll be going in the car this week sometime.
