Entropy Radiator question

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

I have some questions I’m hoping someone can help me with on a LS swap Entropy radiator.

I have several empty holes in the back of the radiator. 1 has a brass plug with anode (I’m assuming) and then there’s what looks to be a 1/2” threaded port below the upper hose neck, and a 1/4” threaded hole above the upper rad hose neck. The 1/4” hole above the upper hose port is for the steam port? What is the 1/2” hole for?

On the drivers side, I have 2 threaded holes top and bottom. I’m unsure of the size.

I’m assuming the drivers side holes are for the transmission lines? They don’t seem to be NPT. Anyone know what I need for these holes as far as fittings?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Entropy Radiator question

Waiting for my Entropy radiator to arrive to subscribing for details.

SilverGT3RS, have you figured out the wiring yet? I am installing the fans on relays and want to tie everything into a fuse block. It looks like the fans want 40 amps and the fuse block maxes at 30 amps per circuit. How are you wiring yours?

I’m using a harness with relays made by PCM of NC. It’s made with the factory connectors and relays from a 2003-2005 LS motor.

It connects directly to a power block off the battery.

Re: Entropy Radiator question

I have an Entropy radiator with a trans cooler built in. But what you are describing sounds different. I believe they have changed their design slightly since I purchased mine. Can you provide pics? I have the ability now to look at mine and send you pics to compare....

I have both intake and outlet on the pass side, overflow port coming off the radiator neck, steam port near that in the upper tank and 2 ports on lower tank for tranny, and drain cock next to lower hose.....

Hope this helps!!!

Re: Entropy Radiator question

Sorry, I didn't realize you had a 67-72. Mine is in a 65. I have a traditional radiator, not a cross flow. I'd be guessing at what the ports go to that you do not have occupied right now. I do know that they add a temp switch bung to use with their fan controller..

Awesome! Thanks so much for the information. On the trans side, I’m assuming I need a AN adapter with O ring to screw in the ports, since I’m using a kit to run back to the transmission?

Any idea what the big port is for under the upper radiator hose? I’m just curious.

Its for a temp sender unit...usually setup to switch fans on...
