Any difference between 5.0 TBI RS radiator and 5.7L TPI radiator?
Asking becuase it seems that the cooling problems on my wife's 92 5.0 TBI Camaro are at least partially due to a corroded (plugged?) radiator. I am going to replace it but I'd like to upgrade, if possible, due to planned futured mods. Is the radiator for a 350 TPI car (same year) any larger/more efficient than the 5.0 TBI radiator? Easy drop-in is the name of the game here. It's an automatic car, so I assume if the 350 TPI rad fits it will have the right connections in the right place for the tranny cooler lines.

Same. Just get an aluminum one instead of copper. Much much better. Like $140 at Napa. Modine. Sometimes the one for the 350 tpi's have optional ports for the oil cooler option. Some formulas had it, not sure about camaros. Same setup other than that though.
