Default LS1 radiator question. Please help. First post.

Does lt1 and ls1 have the same radiator? I almost have everything for my 98 ls1 swap to my 94 except for radiator, ac conddenser and vette fuel rail. Can I use an lt1 radiator with the ls1? Thanks guys. <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

the radiator will work but you will need to plug off the coolent level sensor and aux small waterpump nipple on the radiator.

No, you don't need to plug the coolant level sensor. The only hole needed to plug is the other one horsepower mentions. All 94-02 have a coolant sensor.

I actually installed a 94 LT1 radiator in my 99 SS. The SS had a T56 and the radiator was from an A4 car. It fit fine <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

The 00-02 cars do not have coolant sensors in the radiators. GM removed them. Trust me, I have a 2000.

sorry, I missed your 'year'. Correct, the 98-99 are the same, the 00-01 are different and WITHOUT coolant level sensor.

Sorry! I did not know that about the 00-02 cars. They must have figured they stopped working right at around 50K miles and just ridded themselves of the headache!
