What do you mean by "factory bolt in"?

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 03-12-2018, 10:14 PM

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

My American Eagle( sister to Champion) radiator is a bolt it.

Also the guys here on the forum make one that’s bolt in...look in parts page..

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

Gunnin4ya · 03-27-2018, 07:42 PM

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.

That is what I needed. Thanks for that reply and picture.

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

statenine · 04-25-2018, 06:40 PM

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.
