DeWitts offers every model aluminum radiator configured for an LS engine swap. We customize the standard radiator with the correct inlet and outlet size and add high performance Spal electric fans. We even have a connection for the stem line.
Here is a partial list of our stock items but any model can be configured for LS by changing the first digit of the model code to a 6

67 Firebird, 1st we did an LQ4 6.0 with a T56, using bone-stock junkyard motors the first one lasted about a month, the second did good until we put a magnacharger on it, then when we picked it up from the tuner, found out it had been 2 quarts low on oil, and before we knew we had spun the front main bearing. We got it home and installed the third motor and ended up doing a cam swap on it and sent it back to the tuner guy and it was dynoed at 540hp at the wheels and it still runs strong. Never being satisfied with it, we removed the perfect-running 6.0 and bought a brand-new LSX 454 crate motor to install. This was the first LS7 style engine we had delt with so there was a lot to learn on it... including finding out that the ls7 has a 58 tooth relict or wheel, and the 03-06 harness that we were using on it reads off of a 24 tooth wheel, after buying a little tiny box that costs $250 from lingenfelter to convert it, the car is now running, naturally aspirated (we had to send the supercharger off to California to get the bottom plate changed to fit on the ls7) just got it back from the tuner Friday and WOW what a beast this thing is! I would never believe the torque this engine has! My normal tuner guy was busy so I had someone else do it and he only got 572hp out of it, when the engine alone without bolt-ons is supposed to start at 620hp.. So we are impatiently waiting for the the mangacharger to return! More to come!

89 Fox body Coup
6.0 LS
AJE tubular k member with tube a arms and coils
Strange 10 ways front and rear
4L80E
CC plates
adj. upper and lower rear suspension
full -8 fuel system supplied by Stealth 340 in tank pump with -8 return
Holley mid ram (coming soon)
PRC double springs with new seals and Ti retainers
ARP head bolts
Z06 cam
LS2 timing set
Melling oil pump
Camaro oil pan, dip stick, pick up, and tray
Tq box reinforcement plates for upper and lower
Glow Shift fuel pressure gauge, boost, oil pressure, water temp
Vented PCV catch can
I know there is more I cant even think of right now.
Heads are fixing to go on. I have all of the parts except the intake, drive shaft, tq converter, and trans x member (i will have to fab one).
I plan on using an On3 76mm turbo kit that retains the AC since I live in Houston area. This kit is not available at this time so I'm waiting on it. So far I've replaced the interior and I'm just waiting on a few more parts before the major construction begins. Engine will be ready to go in as soon as I get my intake from the GF for Christmas.
