TexasQuest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Some people have used Griffin radiators for small block chevy's. Top End Perf. sells one that's been modded to fit the starquests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcrasta Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Stock Conquest/Starion Radiator is pretty good if you get it rodded / serviced. However, if you require an upgrade the griffin is a good piece. Summit carries them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxzillian Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 This one will bolt into the stock mounts. It does, however, require aftermarket fans, thermoswitches, and a different upper radiator hose. Still, it's one of the better priced units that can support a considerable mount of horsepower. http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=69833 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotStock88 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 400.00+ is kinda steep for a stock replacement IMO. A cheaper option is to switch to a flex-fan set-up and use a new stock radiator. flex-fan set-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiplash Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Get this one if not to late! http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=75954 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrophage Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I think you have a lot of options when it comes to a radiator. I used a radiator from a 89 supra to cool my car from NC to NYC and used it for a few weeks after that and it cooled well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin88ESiR Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I had my stock upgrade to a 3 row core. You will have to add some washers on the lower and side brackets to pull it away from the front a bit so as not to cut into the fins but it ain't no big thang.

HobO89Quest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I'm using the 3 row aluminum radiator meant for small block v8's from summit racing. Although it doesn't have any bungs welded in, the lower hose needs to be fabricated to fit, and there is a small clearance issue, for $180 it's a good deal. My temp gauge is always less than halfway regardless of weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
