LT1 Radiator

If anyone has an LT1 radiator out of their car, could you please post some pictures of the hose connectors. I need to have my Griffin modified to match.

Thanks

Mark

I + others are running the the stock thirdgen or thirdgen style radiator with out LT1's. I can't see why you can't do the same? Are you running the LT1 oil cooler also?

Not running the the oil cooler, but I kind of wanted everything to be "stock" looking. I figured, while the radiator was out, I would have the other connectors welded to it.

Actually, I only use the In and out portion of my radiator. That's all you have to use actually. If you need help on the heater hose/rad hose routing, I can give you a run-down.

I had an lt1 radiator origionally. It worked fine.It started leaking(had a crack in the drivers side can) I replaced it with my tpi rad. It has the hose locations in basically the same spots. The only differance is the size of the outlets and the oilcooler bung.
I would just leave it
Just my .02
