I am looking for a stock replacement radiator by one of the aftermarket manufacturers? I know they are pricey and I know everyone thinks stock is the best way to go. I have the 160 thermostat, I have the programmed changed for the fans, I installed a NEW Stock radiator, I have an Electric water pump. I just replaced the motor and its running warmer than the old one was. Its Summer BUT its still running warmer than it did with the Old motor in it. I just looking for another option? If you have a Link for a Bee cool or a Griffin or any other Aftermarket radiator that is a Direct replacement for a LT1 please post a link. I did a search BUT most of what I read was guys saying ya they make them BUT get a stock one? Help me out if ya got some info. Thx, lata, Ark

Ok here's the skinny from Griffin/Summit:

* Our stock radiators are 29"w x 19"h with one 7/8" core
* Griffin Universal pn# GRI-125242-X: 27.5"w x 19"h with dual 1" cores. $189.00 from Summit Racing.
* Griffin direct fit: pn6293AE-GXX - $436.99 (special order) f/Summit.

The universal listed would be the closest fit for our car and I'm positive it's what my buddy runs. Hard to beat for the price. As for the water coolant level sensor on our stockers I'm just going to unplug and see if I get a code. If so I'll develop something else to override, resistor mod and just check my damn fluid perodically would be easy enough. He had to make custom hoses because of the dia. differences from the tank and the waterpump. He just ran a smaller piece of hose into the large hose and it fit onto the pump and clamped it. For the smaller hoses he ran a T connection to the large hose I think just on the driver side. I need to figure out how the bottom two small hoses flow so I can decide if I'm going the same route my friend did.

If you decide you want one there is a place on Ebay selling the Griffin LT1 radiator for $460 and $10 shipped. It's the best price I've found so far.
