What am i missing? Three Griffin radiators.

Postby T-FATTY » Mon Apr 01, 2013 4:01 pm

I'm getting ready to order a bunch of parts and finally get back my car back on the road. One thing on the list is a radiator and i found posted here and else where these part numbers.
Griffin 1-25241xs $194
1-25241x $186
1-55241x $280

I can't seem to find out what is different between them? Anybody know?
Also wondering what radiators other 1971-1973 owners are using if not one of the above.

Thanks, Todd.

The 55241 has 1.25" tubes. The other two both come up as 2541xs even though I left the x off of one of them. The X appears to be meaningless (x = no designation), it appears the s may be different inlet and outlet sizes.

1-55241x doesn't have a trans cooler, the others do. The other two seem to be the same. I've got an email in with them for there take on any differences.

The other two also have 1" tubes instead of 1.25". The letters on the end are option codes for various things. These are more universal in nature rather than a "drop in" style which is designed to be a direct replacement. So you may need to do some mods to get it to bolt on.
