Re: Ls swap radiators?

When shoppin for an LSx swap radiator I wanted 4 things

1. Made in USA - turned out to be hard to find
2. Inlet and outlet on passenger side. Hate that giant hose across the front of motor. Looks ugly!
3. Aluminum construction
4. Reasonable price

I ended up going with Griffin Dominator Series PN 8-70013-LS at Summit Racing. For a fan setup I scored a used Old Air dual fan setup from CL. Very nice piece. Having a 1967 core support this presented a little bit of a fit issue for the radiator. It's a smidge too tall. But with some fabrication everything worked out.
