Default Radiator

Im looking to put a new radiatior in the car because the plastic on the edges of my stock unit is beginning to crack. I wanted to no if i should buy a stock one or upgrade to all aluminum one and if so were i could buy one. I saw an all aluminum becool one on ws6store.com and its $493 and it says manual trans next to it does that really matter? My car is a manual but if i go with another company would i have to specify my trans being manual? thanks guys.

I got a griffin radiator and yes you will have to let them know. Auto need transmission lines with radiator. I love my griffin, Summit, Jegs or Griffin themself, there in SC.

If you are not modded an LT1 rad is a little bigger and (1/16" IIRC) and will drop right in. I have a Howell Racing dual 1" core rad and had to cut some to make it fit and it is overkill for a stock/bolton motor...

Rock auto parts has killer prices on quality parts . You have a manual trans , if You had an automatic You would need 1 specifically for automatic (the difference is whether or not it has trans cooler lines for the automatic trans . With a car that has manual trans You can use either radiator , but a little better to use 1 without cooler lines with a mnual trans .
