Re: ls swap radiator

Re: ls swap radiator
I used a Superior radiator. They make them for LS swaps with the steam port if needed. I put it in last year and have been very happy with it.

Re: ls swap radiator
The 22 inch wide one from Speedway works well for me if you are not trying to make it look original. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speed...evy,23864.html

Re: ls swap radiator
I got one for my 55.2 with 6.0 LS off ebay for 130. They've gone up in price. I also ordered a 5/16"hose barb from sweet performance and tigged it in for the steam port.
These have very nice welds and the quality is nice and don't have to spend 1200.00. |

(1955-1959) http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=682551 We make bolt-in custom / conversion radiators for your application, right here in the USA using domestically sourced materials. Each radiator is built by hand and we use dual 1" thick cores, for a total core thickness of 2" (same overall thickness as a brass & copper 4-core). We have also made our radiators a little shorter for those that have custom configurations / less room than stock. We NEVER charge extra for engine swap port locations, steam ports or built-in transmission coolers. We are a Gold Vendor and support this forum, and offer a forum-member discount ($25 off a radiator / $20 off fan & shroud package). Hit me up with any questions or for a quote. |
