MSA 4-row radiators

Has anyone use this radiator? Your thought? I'm looking into getting a new radiator for my '81 280ZXT. I'm just seeing what's out there. Thanks in advance.

Sup guys, I've seen people use the Griffen Aluminum radiators with luck. They where mainly on turbo cars. It's on my future mod list.

Have any ideas where I can get ahold of Griffen Aluminum radiator? I did check out their website, but didn't find my application on thier website. I'm guessing they custom make, right? But if any ones knows of where else to get this radiator please let us know. Thanks.

I put the MSA radiator in my 1980, it's working great - I also installed two electric fans in place of the clutch fan. No complaints so far, plus I bought it when it was on sale.

Cool, thanks for the reply. Your electric fan was it hard to install and does it fit nicely over the radiator? What electric fan did you get? Thanks.

Actually I had a shop do the install, I didn't have time! The mechanic installed for me two fans, one ten inch and one eight inch, tied tightly w/bumpers to the backside of the radiator. They are hooked to an adjustable thermostat and come on at 180 degrees, the 8" can be overridden with a toggle switch inside the car if I just want it to run cooler before the fans kick on. But I haven't needed it yet... When I visit the car next time (at paint shop) I will look at what brand the fans are. It is nice and quiet now without that clutch fan, though....

Yeah, I can imagine. That clutch fan is loud. Thanks for sharing you info. Hope to hear from you soon.

I hate myself

I bought a really big volvo aluminium radiator and started to cut and weld to fit it under hood. One week after I did that I just had to buy a nice little ic

The problem is that I can´t make room for both of them and the oil cooler so now I must find a smaller radiator. Too bad I can´t blame anyone but myself
