Radiator set up for 87 C/K w/ 5.3
I have most everything I need to get the motor into the truck except the radiator and fan set up. I am going to go w/ electric fans, but am not sure which radiator to go with. Can i use a stock replacement truck radiator and just make up my hoses, or do I need to get an ls type unit. It looks like Champion (ebay store) sells some stock type alum replacements for fairly cheap money but I am not sure if they will work. Any help would be appreciated.

I am building a 88 Wrangler with a 5.3L and I bought a radiator from C,G@J Inc AKA Brice Thomas Radiator, Po Box 82 Gadsden Al 35902. For a 5.3 it has both inlet and outlet on the passenger side so you do not have to run your top hose across the front. it also has the hose to the throttle body, with tranny connections. less than $400 every thing with shipping. Call and talk to them. Good group of people.
