Anybody had any luck finding pressure drop/aiflow, and heat exchanger effectiveness data from any radiator manufacturers (Griffin, etc)? How about flow rates for the water and oil? I'll put together a spread sheet so whoever needs it can punch in numbers and get sizes of inlets and exits etc if I could just get my hands on this info.

I have not tried it in awhile. No luck then. I think we all should ask email them 
for data. That way they will think there is a demand out there for this
kind of data.

What we need is mass air flow verses air pressure drop across the core and 
heat transfer in BTU/min or watts verses mass air flow and gallons
of coolant per minute. Also what the coolant pressure drop across the 
core as a function of gallons per minute coolant flow. This will be
about three graphs. I am glad you are taking up arms in the crusade
for the holy cooling grail Monty. There is still a lot we don't know.
