Has anyone had any experience with replacing the OEM radiator with a Griffin or BeCool radiator? Do they make one that fits in the OEM location with no mods?

I have a becool, been running it for 5 years now. fits in stock location, but does move the fans closer to the pulleys.

Is it just me or did these drastically go up in price over the last few years? The BeCool 80246 is $1400...

I vote LT1 radiator. My car used to run 190-195 religiously until I added heads/cam then It would run 210-220. One day after some spirited driving my in dash gauge started to peg and check gauges come on. After that I said no more and went to a LT1 and I'm back at my usual 195 or less.

Hmmm, I can't locate my receipt right now, but I thought that I paid somewhere around $600, two years ago.

So why an LT1 radiator over an LS1?

Thanks! So no moding/cutting needed to be done to get it to fit?

NOPE just bolt it

LT1 radiators are thicker and hold more antifreeze, but still have plastic sides

Yeah the radiator upgrade that SLP used to sell for LS1 cars was just an LT1 radiator lol.

A few years ago LG made quite possibly the best radiator for our cars. Had to modify the lower airbox/radiator support because it was widder, but that was 20 mins of work. Had an internal oil cooler also. Would love for them to make it again.

How much did your temps change? Was it worth it in your opinion?

When I had a stock radiator, I overheated on a hot day in traffic. The barbed end of the hose nipple sheared off allowing the hose to pop off. Dumped all the coolant in like .3 seconds. Freekin plastic parts.....

I made the jump to a Becool and only wished I had done it sooner. One of the best bolt-on upgrades I ever did.

The boys at ws6.com have waaay better pricing on Becool radiators, they're sponsors here and really nice guys.

I think you can still get it, isn't it made by Howe Racing or something?
