    I want to buy an all aluminum radiator, and two 3,000 CFM fans, as well as an ac condenser. The car is a 98 GrandPrix GTP, 3.8 s/c all stock. I've always had high heat issues with this car, my current radiator is a ready rad from Advanced Auto Parts, it is 1 year old and get this the plastic tanks are perfectly fine, but somehow it sprung a leak from the bottom portion of the aluminum of the radiator, I didnt overtighten any bolts, so thats not the issue. I think this radiator was just not built very well, plus its made in mexico. So im getting my money back for it. I just really want some really good cooling parts. I've checked pfyc.com, w-body.com, zzperformance.com, 3800performance.com, ebay.com, and I can't find the parts i'm wanting. Here it is again (All Aluminum Radiator, two 3,000 CFM fans, and an A/C Condenser) If I need to do some customizing to fit this stuff, I really dont mind. I've torn this car apart, and put it back together so many times, I very comfortable customizing things to fit, and work the way they should. Thanks for all the info you can give me.

    you didn't want the ZZP over sized aluminum radiator? i heard they were pretty good, if you just want stock since your car is stock call 1-800-RADIATOR, if they're in your area a new one is like $130.00

    Not really, because the tanks are plastic. I want something that will last longer, and be very reliable. I'm not doubting the quality of of thier radiators, I just dont want any plastic. The only problem is finding the radiator I want for this car is very difficult, you would think they would've made them an upgrade for the serious racers/modders. But I guess they are still using ones with plastic tanks.

    You may be aiming down a custom path. I don't believe anyone currently makes radiators for W bodies that are all aluminum.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
