Guys: who makes a high performance radiator for the MM?

I've got a 2.6 Kenne Bell and it's producing too much heat for the stock
radiator to handle when the a/c is on.

I'm looking for a 2 row heavy duty radiator built to OEM specs, so I can hang the a/c condensor on the back. Your help is appreciated!!

Do a search. I believe Cobra25 had a thread about this.

Griffin Radiators


I talked to a guy at Griffin today. Their heavy-duty replacement radiator is based off a factory model, is 2-3/4" thick and uses two rows of 1-1/4" tubes.

That should definitely do the trick for towing. However, it is fantastically expensive even at Reinhardt's bulk-purchase price of $900. It is a bolt-in, with the extra core being located toward the front of the vehicle. Definitely easier than the fabrication job I had to do to put a 2-row rad in my old '97 Crown Vic.

I have an all aluminum custom one built by the custom radiator company for Marauders that I could not fit with the turbo. It is almost twice as thick as stock. It is perfect for the PD folks. I will look for a picture.

Here are some older pics. Not the best. I can get new ones when I get a chance. PM me if you are interested. The quality is much better then stock. It fits exactly like the stock, but a little thicker.
This is the stock compared to the Griffin (in the front)
