Frontmount LT1 Question
Frontmount LT1 Question I love starting new threads 
.
I have a complete turbo kit for my 97 LT1. It is very similar to the Huron Speed kit for the LS motors with truck manifolds. I am asking this before I even get started on the install. Will their be fitment issues with a front mount turbo and the radiator? Is there a special type of radiator I should run? This is really my only concern right now until I start with mocking the rest of the set up together. Thanx for your help!

Can't say without pictures...
Usually you have to stand up teh radiator vertical which is A) Cutting the radiator support for the stock unit B) Getting a smaller (thicker core) radiator and stashing it under the rad support
My setup does not move radiator from stock location/angle.

I cut the bottom of the top support out and notched it for the radiator cap, I run a griffin radiator and 2 deral pusher fans. I also run a CSR electric pump and milled the housing down to pull it back toward the block..

I run a front mount in mine and I just cut the upper support. Running a griffen radiator.

I run a griffin cause my stock unit was to tall stood up and I didn't feel like cutting the bottom support as we'll. I'm sure others have done it though....I actually went off of Taburunit's build thread.
I you run an aftermarket rad, you'll have to add a piece for the head vent hose thing. For lack of proper term lol
