Lets talk radiators...

Does anyone besides Griffin make radiators for our cars that don't have plastic end caps? As sweet as the Griffin is, i don't want to wait when or if another Group buy comes up for em.

OP, why don't you do what Cavi2Sunfire is doing?. Griffin Rad from Summit Racing. $200 bucks.

iirc, he ordered a universal. My question there is that since he has an eco, isn't on the Eco, flow is reversed? I know to swap from my motor to the Eco, the radiator has to be replaced,

just find a universal radiator that has the inlet and outlet in the correct location for you it might be a slight difference in size like this one

Why does the flow matter? As long as you can make the hoses connect that is really what matters. The water pump is going to determine which way things flow.

The main reason the radiator has to be changed when doing a Eco swap is the location of the hoses, or more so the inlets on the radiator. People have done eco swaps without swap radiators, but they had to figure out hose routing with different than stock hoses.

This. FTW. I picked up the universal Griffin and had a buddy TIG on some adapters to the inlet/outlet to match what I needed so I didn't have to deal with 8 hose clamps. IIRC, I paid him $35-40. I used these adapters.
