I'm not sure if the LT1 radiator will work. I know it has the reverse cooling passages. I know there is one common one from GM I think that is actually a LT1 radiator, but without the reverse cooling passages.

Why do you need a new radiator?

a 95 lt1 radiater should be a direct drop in and the lt1 radiaters are almost about 50% bigger then the LS1's much better cooling slp also sells it as well but is the same for a more expensive price

hmm... what's your coolant look like? You using that Dexcool crap? I know mine was gunked up so bad that I had to get the wet/dry vac out to suck a lot of that coagulated crap out... don't know if it could ever get so bad to stop up your coolant flow... but I eventually forked out and got a Nice BIG "Be Cool" radiator and changed my coolant to the Prestone Extended Life (bright green/yellow stuff)... also installed a 160 T-Stat and added some Water Wetter... oh yea and recentley got a new water pump put in too so I shouldn't have any coolant issues...

absolutely... don't spend more money than you feel you need to... I just like to go overkill when buying parts... I hear a lot of people get the LT1 radiators with good luck... Main reason I didn't go that way is because i really REALLY wanted to get away from the plastic on the radiator... my OEM one blew apart at the plastic so...

1-800-Radiator is your friend, shipped to you and most radiators are cheap from there, we got an aluminum 3rd gen radiator from there for $100, and the factory ones are metal.
