What rad is that? Looks like a nice fit for G-body.

Thanks for the comments! It's been a long road, but I'm getting sooo close to having it done, I can taste it.

The rad is a Griffin 1-26201-X (link below). The price was decent (about $170 when I grabbed it) and the quality is fantastic! The welds are great, and materials are nice and not paper thin. You have to make custom mounts, as it's a "universal rad". If that size isn't perfect for a G body, they make basically every possible size for radiators. Can also can fans and shrouds from them as well, but I found them a bit pricey.

Edit: You can find the rad for purchase through Summit or Jegs btw. They are a bit cheaper than the MSRP listed on Griffin's site.

Is the stock hood going to fit on this beast or custom?

I'll be attempting to fit the stock hood. I already removed a bit of the inner framing on the hood above the turbos, so they should clear but the IC tube going into the throttlebody on the passenger side may be a close call.

Thanks for the link!

Always looking for good fit Al rads for these cars and I think (IMS) the last G-body I did I had to cut a cpl inches off the bottom, but width was perfect.
