Harrison Aluminum Radiator???
Anyone ever heard of a Harrison Aluminum Radiator? By the faded black color of my radiator I had always assumed my radiator was an original. Eeee-wrong! I will be putting in a new 383 crate engine and am trying to decide what things I should go ahead and buy, what things I'll just see how they work with the new engine, and what things I will re-use. So thinking my radiator was original I was simply planning on buying a Griffin aluminum 31x19. So anyways I was looking over things just now and I have a 22x19 inch Harrison Aluminum.
My real question is whether or not I should just try this one and see if it cools fine or go ahead and put in a bigger aluminum radiator.
Anyone have any similar experiences with this radiator or with one this size??
Thanks.

tshort,
If it`s the one i am thinking of that "Harrison" used to be the road racers radiator of choice!! in good condition they work, I thing (depending on the part number) they were used on quite a few high HP Corvettes.

Hmmm, so maybe I should give it a try. I've never come close to having a cooling problem with my current engine but after all, it is just a mild 350.
