Re: Radiator

For comparison purposes, a new GM radiator is ~$200.

Re: Radiator

I just payed 173.00 for a brand new Lifetime warranty radiator at OReilleys Auto Parts. Very nice piece and is a carbon copy of the factory OEM radiator.

Re: Radiator

i would definitely recommend an oem radiator. payed $160 through radiatorexpress.com. is an exact replica of original and does an outstanding job cooling the lt1.
there is no point in waisting money on some "super" radiator when the stock radiator does a good job.

Re: Radiator

I got a stock replacement from radiators.com. Looks identical to the stock GM radiator and the fit and finish is great. I paid $121 phus tax and shipping.

Re: Radiator

Griffen makes a beautiful LT1-specific replacement radiator. But 1) you shouldn't need it; 2) its over $500.
