68birdls1

Hey guys, been searching and searching for days and can't find what I'm looking for. I have a 68 firebird with a ls7. Should be making around 550-600 at the wheels. I have seen all the different radiators available for the swap, but in can't seem to find any that day they have the steam vent. Does any one know which radiator or even better, part number has a steam vent and hold up this power level?
Thanks for looking and any help is greatly appreciated.

Griffin makes a nice setup for the LS with both ports on one side and a steam port.

You could try adapting a stock radiator to your core support. I just did that today if you check my link.

For anybody following, I ended up ordering the griffin. I will post up later a review of how well it works.

The steam port is right below the radiator cap. Where did you order it from?

That is a pretty good price. Does it bolt right up like stock? What fan set up?

Bolts right up to factory holes. I bought a set of used ls1 Electric fans. Bought used because I heard the new ones aren't as good as the originals. I'm going to take the radiator to a shop and have then weld on some tabs so the fans can be held in place just like factory.
