Re: Radiator question

It will work I think that it sticks out a little. If you are doing the LT1 swap your old one should work.

Re: Radiator question

stick with your old rad. if you put the new one in you'll have to modify your shroud. you can get coolant hoses that fit from the old rad to your lt1 perfectly. And if your old rad is in bad shape, purchase a new aluminum one from a local garage/rad shop/parts place and it will go with the rest of your lt1s aluminum parts, thats what i did. I believe the old ones are copper. IF you do decide to get an alum. rad use the yellow peak global coolant... it wont corrod the aluminum heads/rad/etc.
