Hey I think i should get a new radiator. I live in south cali and i can't run the air that long or the car gets too hot. So i was thinking of a Griffin Aluminum Radiator. Cause they seem to be pretty cheap and work well. Any1 know where i could get one for the cheapest for a 94 GT? And is it a direct fit or universal? Like would i have to fab up some brackets or something?

Fluidyne is a direct replacement and is just about the same price. If you really want to get one pretty cheap look at the Summit radiaor they are less than $200 shipped but you must fab up some brackets.

It seems griffin part numbers differ from summits and every1 elses. What size is the radiator in a 94 mustang GT? Cause on summit all they say is the size.

What size radiator is it for a direct replacement from griffin or fluiddyne. 22" x 19"?
Would this Griffin be a direct replacement?

There is NO reason to get a Griffin to have a direct bolt on.

The Fluidynes are cheaper and just as good....M.U. has the best price.

And the Summits will do the job for the lower $$, if you can make it work.

The fluidyne is a direct replacment meaning no fab work at all. Yes it's price is up there but for those who just want a drop in and go that's the one. If you don't mind fabbing up stuff than the summit rad would be the way to go.

It's not that you can't it's just that most people here prefer the fluidyne over most other brands when it come to direct fit rads. You may have to mod some brackets for that one as well. The fluidyne can be ordered specifically for the 94/95 stangs. That griffin you posted is for a ford but not specifically for a 94/95 just a ford style rad. Also that rad is 22 in. length x 19 in. height you can fit a Summit rad 28 x 19 x 3 1/2 part # SUM-380428.

I just installed a Summit Rad yesterday. It only took minimal Fabrication. And it works great here in the FL +90* heat

I got a radiator from Steeda on sale. It was a direct bolt in, and fit perfectly. I had another generic radiator in there before which I build custom brackets for. I just got sick of the way it looked.
