69chevellesupersport

Hey guys I just finished a lq9 swap in my chevelle but my cooling system is shot so I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. At this point the engine is stock but I plan to turbo it later down the road and I would like to only buy this item once. I am looking at two different radiator setups and would like your opinions/suggestion before I make a decision. One is the griffin kit part number cu-00007-ls and entropys 9161-badass kit with both hoses going to the passenger side. Any other suggestions would be great.
I appreciate the help!

I used a 60 buck griffin SBC radiator and did a few splices on the hoses allowing me to run the steam vent ports and mechanical temp gauge. I mean why in the hell spend 900 bucks for a radiator setup...... this griffin keeps me at 185 in 100 degree heat

I usually use a stock style radiator with F-body fans. A stock truck upper radiator hose fits with a truck water pump perfectly.

I used an aluminum LS swap radiator from speedway on my 69 with supercharged LS1 GTO motor. it had ports on opposite corners but I was able to find some hoses that worked with the supercharger. I think the top hose was from a neon.

I agree with Joe Nova. Minor mods to the radiator support and you can use stock hoses, the stock steam port and stock fans. Makes things easy if you ever break down on the road.

I'm very pleased with the Champion radiators. I've got one in my chevelle that has in/out on passenger side which really makes hoses easier.
