Default 1967 F Body LS1 Swap Radiator What is everyone Running???

What radiators are available and mount up clean with little or no modification and is a straight bolt in for a LS1 Swap? I have noticed some the have the inlet and outlet on the same side to accommodate the ls1. I would prefer a all aluminium i dont want one yanked out of a newer car with plastic sides it will look outa place. What are your recommendations?

I know you said you didn't want a factory LS1 radiator with plastic sides 'cause it would look "out of place". I just finished installing a 2001 F-body radiator and fans and it looks real good! Proven system and the price is right.
But to each his own!

In my '72 Chevelle 'vert LS1 conversion, I used a stock replacement radiator and adapted the dual fan shroud set up from an'00 Camaro SS from Rock Auto. The whole setup probably cost around $350 not including the labor (which we all know is worth $0) Obviously fits good and the fan realy setup that is on this website works great.

This is what I want to do. Couple questions...is that a stock Chevelle replacement radiator? What did you use to mount the fans? It looks like bolts, just curious as I have the fans and about to order the radiator which I'm leaning towards the aluminum replacement radiator from Summit. Appreciate any help/suggestions you can provide!

I got my radiator from Summit, it's one of their universal radiators, like $149. It didn't come with any mounting brackets so I made up four brackets and had my local welding shop weld them on. I have never gone over 190 degree's. I have a 12 inch electric fan mounted on the inside of the radiator and I put the stock shroud on for nostalgia. Sorry for the lousy picture it was the only one I had handy and I had to crop it down to get it to up load.

Your circuit breaker/relay setup looks clean. Where did you source those electrics from?
