Default oem radiator for a 56 chevy

I'm installing a LQ9 into a 56 post and am in need of a radiator. I don't need an expensive and shinny aluminum radiator because it will end up being covered by some custon sheet metal. Is there an oem unit that will fit 19x34 inches or smaller that has the inlet and the outlet on the passenger side? I plan on rumnning electric fans and make my own shroud.

Just run a cheap universal one off summit and make brackets for it.

Or look at the F-body LS1 rad or the small 28'' truck radiators. The newer trucks have the larger 34'' radiator with E-fans stock.

check into an ~07 TBSS radiator. i tried to put one on my 82 C10 but it was a tad too tall. i think it would be perfect for you.

& it has the inlet & outlet on the pass side. AND a set of LS1 fans will fit onto it if you decided to go that route.

go to rockauto.com & look up the spectra one, it will give you core dimensions (dont forget these do not include the tanks)
