SPF Radiator Replacement

[Dave Hood]

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my SPF radiator ended its life due to corrosion that could not be repaired. I called Superformance in Irvine, CA and was quoted a price of $1,900. That inspired me to take the radiator to a company here in Charlotte that builds radiators and oil coolers for various race teams. They are now building me a carbon copy which they said will be a much higher quality product. The cost....$640. So if you need a radiator, I'd recommend Fluidyne, located in Mooresville, NC.

Ryan, I doubt that radiator would work with any GT40 sold in the U.S. It looks like their business is focused on cars pre-1950.

Hi, Dave:

I downloaded your original post about this into a folder I have for parts sources. Glad to now have the name (Fluidyne)! What I would encourage all Superformance owners to do is to make a special effort to post this same sort of info when they come across similar sources, and it would be great if the person(s) who are responsible for this website would set up a sub-section devoted just to Superformance parts sources. I will go through my own folder and see what I can contribute.
