I gave Griffin Radiators (sponsor here) a call and they custom made me a radiator that bolts into my '69 and has the correct LS1 inlet/outlet tubes on it. Took them about 2 weeks to get it to me, not bad.
I also had them add the optional electric fan setup, and it came attached. Very nice looking setup!

since both ends on the LS1 cooling system point towards teh pass side of the car i was jsut plannign to use a scirocco style radiator for my conversion. summit and jegs both carry them. if you find you need an odd size look around your area for your local circle track shop, they can usually get griffan or other quality pieces in any size you need.

I have a cross flow.. both the inlet and outlet are on the passengers side. this makes hose routing easy given the layout of the LS1 engine.
Cost me $600 custom made with mounts for my SPAL fans.. im very happy with it
