Default LT1 Radiator
Anybody here with a LT1 front mount turbo with a vertical radiator? My turbo will sit right above the balancer and right below the water pump. What are you doing for a vertical radiator? Measurements, specs, P/N?

I called griffin for a custom radiator and they are talking about minimum $500. I have no problem spending the money but if I could spend a couple hundred less and get the same performance out of it I would be happier. Please help!
