ust picked up my radiator today it was copied from a factory V8 A/C car radiator looks like just some minor trimming to be done but will let people know when I get my front end back on. The shop is willing to build more said 450.00

Champion makes a pretty good H-Body radiator:
https://www.jegs.com/i/Champion-Cooling ... 9/10002/-1
( Part Number: 166-CC469 in case the link stops working)

It didn't take a ton of cutting to make it fit in my 75, and with proper airflow it cools my LS1 quite well. $245 at the time of this post.

P.S. I know you've already found one you like, but I thought the info might be useful to future visitors

Some more from Phil

I did not get any descriptions with them, hopefully he will explain further, it looks pretty good, but I have not seen it in person.

Looks a lot like the Champion radiator. Probably both based on a similar stock design.

what ia the thickness. nobioy is talking about that. the waterpump shaft is so close to the cores with the 2 inch cores. its is scary close. art

This should give you some idea. I can get in there with a tape measure when it stops snowing. This is with the powerbyace engine mounts and a C5 Corvette water pump. There might be water pumps out there without that nose on it. That would have helped fan placement. Please excuse my excessive core support hacking. I started with a different radiator and had already cut it up before realizing it wasn't going to work. I patched either side after the fact.

What trans cooler lines did you use?
They look nice and seem to be more giving than metal ones.

Sorry for the late response Joey. Apparently I wasn't subscribed to this thread. Those are nylon -6 AN hoses I picked up at a local shop. Summit and Jegs both carry it also. It's a lot easier to work with, especially when installing the fittings. I used some of it for my fuel system as well.
