703 CAMAROSS

I know its been covered allot and iv done my research. Most people use this radiator. http://m.summitracing.com/parts/gri-1-25241-x but what do you guys do with the coolant level sensor? From my understanding there's no spot for it on this one and also what about the steam port for the heads? I also heard that that was missing also. Do you guys just leave both of those out? And what coolant hoses do you guys use for this. If anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it. My stock radiator blew so I might as well stand it up now. Also what fans do most use?

Sorry just realised the link didn't work, its the griffin universal 27.5in wide, 15.5in high, 3.0 thick.

I looked through 7 pages but no one said what to do with the coolant sensor. I read about the steam port for the heads but nothing about the sensor.

I didn't use it

I have those as well. If you have room I'd run a puller setup though.

For the low coolant sensor just put a jumper in the terminals of the plug and that will keep the warning light on the dash from coming on. You can use a thick staple or cut a piece of a paper clip bend it to a u shape and insert lol. Wrap it with electrical tape I did just incase wasn't really sure what would happen if you didn't but wasn't going to find out.

Do those fans not work for you? I don't even have the turbo yet but my radiator blew so I figured I'd just do this mod now and get it over with. And that sounds like you could just cut them and solder the two wires togther then right?

How big of a turbo do you plan on running? Do you have or want to keep ac? I ask because if you don't have to stand it up, don't. The factory radiator is more than enough and the fans and shroud work well. If your only looking for 6 700hp then you could fit a tc78 or gts76 in there with out going through the pain of cutting the car up.

I want to fit a GT-88 or GT-91, and no I don't have A/C and I'm looking for 1000whp

No, they do work. I just had a large puller on before and it worked better

With out ac those pushers will work fine.

Cool, thanks guys. I would do a puller set up but I don't know how much room I will need so I'm going to make the most room possible then I know I won't have to re do anything.

I built a custom rad for my car that stands strait up fits right in the front under top frame support and bottom rad support only made one long cut nvr had to remove anything and gives you lots of room under hood I have a pic of it in my build thread project just a 1000 rwhp

VIPERSLYR

I still have the cross over line in the rad and am using a inline rad cap

703 CAMAROSS

Nice lol, I'm trying to make it as simple as possible though. An you know what I just realised. I can't stand the radiator up and use an air box at the same time can I? Because I would be cutting out the bolts where it mounts to?

Look at the thread where everyone posted up pictures of the vertical radiators. You can do it underneath of the cross bar, you'd just have to make mounts on the bottom. I wish I would have been smart enough to do that, it's a much cleaner look.
