Stock Radiator/ Tranny cooler for 5.3 LY5 and 4l60e

Have read through a few threads and am interested to see if anyone has successfully installed a STOCK radiator/Fans/trannycooler for their ls in a similar style truck (I have a 66). I am not sure if they will fit? I was looking into this to save a few bucks. Spaulding auto sells them for fairly cheap $350 for everything shipped.

I have a LY5 out of 07 chevy tahoe

Entropy sells a unit that would drop in for around $700 w shipping. ( no modification that i am aware of) includes fans,radiator,steam port,wiring harness,built in tranny cooler.

I have seen a mixed bunch of what others did with various ebay radiators and fans to save $$ but am not sure of how much was needed to make them fit, or of their performance.

I will continue searching but have yet to find this answer, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

GMT 800 & GMT 900 radiators are WAY to wide to fit a 60-66 truck.

A stock V8 copper/brass radiator will cool a LS engine, 3-core for $214.... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SGT-CU284/
