$100 and $56 Amazon/ Ebay radiator questions :) Been doing some reading up on ls1 to lt1 radiator upgrade. Just want to make sure this is the right one? I know I’ve read 93-96 is the one to go with as the 97 is same core size as ls1. Take a look at the dimensions and advise. If you know where I can get one for better price advise on that to :) $100 seems pretty cheap to me. thx |
Almost seems TOO cheap.... |
When I enter car info (95 camaro 5.7) it says direct fit. It says 1.26” which I’ve read that ls1 rad is approx 3/4” and lt1 is approx 1.25” so I’m thinking this is the one. Just want someone more familiar with the lt1 radiators to chime in. |
Cheap is as cheap does. I bet it does not last a year. Rick |
This is the thicker radiator from 96 V6, I put this one in my 99 firebird, fits perfect and has a littel better cooling capacity. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...sn=771&jsn=771 |

Yes I'm old. EBay radiator is made for the v6 so it doesn't have the steam port fitting. I also had to trim the fan shroud to fit closer to the radiator to improve suction through the radiator https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech...536c4efb9f.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech...9adc9ed0e3.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech...6af6c6e48e.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech...01db542ff0.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech...3a94970dfc.jpg |

You should edit this thread title as it's the most vague thing possible. How about "Radiator, cheap, too good to be true?". |
Fwiw I threw an an Amazon 100 dollar TYC radiator in my Chrysler mini van and it's been fine for going on three years. |

I bought the dual aluminum core from engineered cooling products off eBay. Lifetime warranty. Only modification i had to make was bending the radiator support from the 90* to flat. Ive had it paired with my electric water pump now for over 2 years with NO issues. Went with the aluminum after cracking 3 of the OEM radiators over the course of 2 years. |

I figured people did it this way to grab someone’s attention as I see it did yours :) I didn’t know it was looked down upon and made people upset �� I’ll see if I can edit title? If not moderators feel free to remove my thread as I did not know it was a no no. Thank you all for the great info!!! |
I fixed the title :) I ordered the $56 ebay radiator. Update when it comes in. |

[QUOTE=G Atsma;20017837]I hope it works as it should, and prove many of our thoughts (incuding mine! LOL) WRONG. A cheap but GOOD radiator is a good find
