I'm going to be using the same aluminum radiator I had in my car with a big block. The stock LS1 radiator looks like a pansy compared to my old radiator so I'm sure it will cool it just fine. I might switch it out later on for a radiator with the inlet and outlets both on the passenger side for a cleaner look.

I used a Walker radiator originally built for the old iron small block Chevy. You just have to make the hoses and bleed setup work....just basic hot rod fabrication. My coolant recovery bottle was a spun-aluminum Vodka bottle.

what I was thinking is blocking off the relief on the radiator and use the LS1 pressurized coolant bottle. the radiator should function without air pockets if i do it like this. right?
