Default Mounting RAdiator Vertical

What is it going to take to mount my radiator vertical to make some turbo room? Can I use the stock radiator? If not what is my best aftermarket choice? What about fan? Any help would be appreciated

You should post this in the forced induction section, you'll get all the answers you need there. There are also some pretty nice threads with pics of LT1's with vertical mounted radiators there!

You can use the stock rad. but it requires more cutting. Unless you have an aftermarket hood with more clearance in that area. The factory radiator comes really close to stock hoods, so leaning it forward would make it sit higher. With a stock size radiator, you'd need to cut out the lower radiator support and build a new one to hold the radiator slightly lower.
