Building a radiator Guys
I am going to have the radiator built for the LS1 into a 68 camaro I am working on and have a few questions.
#1. What is the hose size on the top and bottom of a stock block?
#2 What size are trans cooler lines? (metric or standard)
#3 Is it better to have inlet and outlet on same side or opposite sides? Does it matter? Whitch needs to be on top,on bottom?
#4 What radiators do you guys use??
Thanks,David

Check with AFCO Racing to see if there's a radiator they catalog that might work for your application. They manufacture their own racing radiators, many to fit specific applications like yours. Their tech help is great. I paid $229 for an aluminum dual pass, dual row ASA radiator with cap delete.

lol, its a 1stgen camaro... THE most popular muscle car for this kind of stuff... not only is there a off the shelf radiator that will work for you, but you have a choice of several!
btw, with the exception of possibly adding one bung for the head coolent bleed, the radiator is identical the SBC one...

Jegs has one If you are on a budget and not looking for the bling factor, Jegs (one of their own brand) has one advertised: http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...tegoryId=62833 part #555-51950 (manual) and 555-51951 (auto).
On a side note though, has anyone used this setup?
