Aluminum 1 row rad from a Camaro...has trans cooler ports but not oil, didn't know the new engines come with oil cooler ports in the factory rad. Dunno what the year Camaro its out of b/c I bought it from a friend but its a popular/cheap way to upgrade to aluminum in G-bodies. If I get another one, I'm going to get one with both ports on the passenger side to clean up the engine bay more...truck waterpump outlet and top hose make for an unpleasant install in my eyes lol.

Yea, as said above, the Camaro/Trans Am radiator is the way to go. It was run in the F-bodys from 1998-2002, and I think even before that in the LT1 cars. The condensor clips on the front of the rad, and the electric fan shroud w/fans clips on the rear. It's a great setup.
