Is this a good radiator?

One is opening up the lower valance (like the fiberglass Shelby "R" style, or Terilingua with the cutout) that allows much more air flow over the radiator.

What is the Terilingua thing your talking about here.

Also have general question about the griffin, does it take a 16 lb or 7 lb pressure cap? I`m looking at billetspecialties website.

Use the 16lbs cap.
If you look at a '67 version of the "Terlingua Racing" team car, you'll notice they cut the licence plate recessed area out in order to get more air over the lower portion of the radiator. Not sure I'd want to highlight it with yellow paint, but the cut out is a fairly inexpensive way to get more air.

ive got a direct fit northern from summit, but it wasnt without problems... not that its a bad radiator, but the trans cooler bungs werent tapped properly, rendering the built in cooler useless. when i called summit with the problem (the radiator was already painted black, and had coolant in it when i found the problem) they sold me the BIG b&m trans cooler for half price. other than that, i would recommend the northern to anyone...

Awesome!

I'll look foward to your progess.
I'll be starting on the '67 core support swap this weekend, and will be starting a thread on that. Bet you finish before I do
