a radiator that bolts in the factory location, not one modified to fit.

I used my Factory Rad in stock position with my LS1 in my 1970. I had the top inlet changed to fit the hose I needed and added a steam port nipple just below it
Works perfect. I run 195- 200 all day long with or with out AC on

I am all about supporting sponsors from here but I can't find any pictures on here of their radiators installed. Just like apache asked we want to see what they look like installed.

what would have to be done to bolt in a 1960?

sluggy · 04-04-2018, 12:24 AM

This is a bolt in

https://www.performanceonline.com/19...inum-Radiator/

I ordered one of these but got a 63 - 66 unit accidentally, couple of aluminium angles and made it work pretty well. I use a single fan with a 3 core radiator in an LS3 powered 62 and it keeps the temps perfect

Pro Performance · 04-04-2018, 10:50 AM

We sell a direct fit Champion as well, but technically is not a LS radiator. Will it work... yes. Just have to route hose a little differently, and get a collar adapter for the steam port.

I am using a Champion CC284 in my '66 with a 2010 5.3 LS.

Went with this top hose: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And this bottom hose: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I am also using this for the steam port connection: https://jagsthatrun.com/products/fix...v8-engine-swap

No pics, but hope this helps

Gunnin4ya · 04-25-2018, 06:32 PM

Statenine, did you have to build brackets or just bolt it in?

It bolts right in, no mods needed

Gunnin4ya · 04-25-2018, 06:35 PM

Sweet, that will Save me a ton of cash. Thanks

This is the best pic I have right now

67pete300 · 06-21-2018, 07:45 PM

Anyone familiar with these guys? Sale going on right now and can be fitted with fan (sounds like a single) and shroud.
