If you go to a local radiator shop you can pick up a lt1 radiator for about 160. I have the slp and it is just an lt1 with the block offs for the heater already done. If you buy the lt1 you just need to block off the two heater core connections. Really easy to do.

I'm installing one today that I bought out of the for sale section. I haven't had the chance to compare it to the one I'm replacing yet, but I will once I get the old one out. I wouldn't even be bothering with replacing it, but one of the side tanks is leaking where it mates up to the aluminum core, so I figure if I'm gonna replace it, might as well replace it with something a little better. Kinda excited to see what kind of a difference it will make since it's been hella hot lately.

I have had one for about a year or more I got off of Ebay for $120 (new). It is larger than the stock. I wondered why it had a couple of plugs on it. Now I know it is one for a LT-1.
