Radiator? Dropmember,Ls motor

Have you guys with a Ls motor equiped with dropmember found a radiator that kinda just drops in with no major mods. For a 68 truck with electric fans if possible. Thanks Daniel.

Been searching and searching with no luck.

Entropy makes a nice radiator for LS 67-72 trucks.
You can find them on EBay.

Re: Radiator? Dropmember,Ls motor

From what I have read, I think the neck size from the LS motor is different from the factory radiator dimensions. I was wondering what radiator would work so I would not have to get creative when plumbing the radiator to the motor. Once again thanks, Daniel

I see now that they make a specific ls swap radiator, the price is rich, but you have to pay for convience. This may be an offending question, is Entropy a quality mahufacturer of radiator. Sorry, I just have never heard of them.

There are several members on here that have them.
I purchase one last year for my '69 swb.
I just recieved my second Entropy radiator for my '70 stepside.

Here's a thread from 2008 about them,...

Re: Radiator? Dropmember,Ls motor

I used a new stock 4 core radiator that I got at Advance for around 160 bucks and the stock hoses ( had to shorten the lower one) from the 44k mile 04 LQ9 truck motor in my 67 GMC. Just had to lube the upper hose with some soapy water and it went right on. Also have jegs dual fans with shroud ($189) and it cools great. the fans are wired into the computer harness and only come on when in slow traffic in 90 plus degree weather. I have 1200 miles on the truck now and everything works fine.

Re: Radiator? Dropmember,Ls motor

So we have a factory 67 4 core radiator with the ls hoses from your donor vehicle correct?
