![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I'm in the beginning stages of a LS swap into a 68 Camaro with an LS3 and T56 and I'm not seeing a lot of choices in radiator/fan combos. I searched to see what everyone is using and I can only come up with two.
Ron Davis - no idea how much
Griffin - CU-00009-LS $650
Are there any other brands I'm missing that are similar to these and hopefully a little less.
TIA.

The Camaro is a much smaller car so I doubt the GTO radiator would fit...but if it were me, I would try to find a stock one. Lots of guys run only aluminum though....choice is up to you.

I got a universal fit aluminum radiator from Summit for $169. I forget the measurments of the radiator, but its a two row. I took some scrap aluminum and make four 90 degree brackets and had my welding shop weld them on the tanks. Drilled a few holes and it fits great. I got a universal electric fan and fabed up a mount so it sits inside the stock fan shroud. I have had this setup in the car since 2008 and have not had any issues.
