Mcmurphy, you can check them out at championradiator.com it's year specific,3 row, and cools up to 700hp. A lil over kill but what ever. There pretty good quality. I'm happy with it. I know it's not running yet but as far as fit and look it's good. Also has the trans cooler on bottom but I just capped it cuase I want a separate cooler for the trans. Not at home right now so don't have exact measurements but they will on website.

I just bought one of those from Champion for my LT-1, as I had a great mishap last week. I had made all of the adaptations to fit the 96 Camaro radiator into my radiator support...Then while searching through boxes of parts on the mezzanine of my Dad's barn, I totally knocked my radiator off the edge, falling onto the box of my truck & crashing to the ground...Got the new radiator & looks great, but still gotta fix my truck box...

Well pushed it out of the garage today to sweep so I thought while it was out I would wash it down. Im waiting on a rear mount gas tank and front sway bar, that's what I'll be working on next. Heres a few pics.

you need to take rear cover off count the number of teeth in the bigger gear then count the number of teeth in the pinion gear mark one tooth on each gear so u wont screw up.then divide the two and that should give you the gear ratio.by the way the bigger number into smaller one hope that helps fellas

Does anybody know if the yolk on the stock drive shaft will fit the 700r4? It's at my dad's so it will be a while before I can check. Also this might be a dumb question but when I install drive shaft do I need to make sure the trans is all hooked up as in the shifter and all just to make sure it's in park and it don't try to run us over. Still learning guys so thanks so far on all the advice

Frame and motor are lookin sharp.

Not sure about the yolk. The radiator overflow..... I asked the same question for my white '67 Camaro. People asked, "what can you afford?" and "how much room do you have"?

Well I tore more out today and also found a lot more rust and holes then I thought. Replacing all this is definitely going to take a while. I've never really welded steel. At work I weld aluminum all day but that's totally different then steel. http://

If you can weld aluminum you will pick up welding steel quickly. I give you 15 minutes and you'll be flying.

I would like to get them from you. But at the moment I'm super broke. Maybe you will still have them when I get some extra money.
