i really appreciate everyone's help with the info on my v6-lt1 swap. i got one more question: will i have to swap radiators or can i just leave my origional radiator and fans in there?

if the lt1 radiator isn't ABSOLUTELY necessary i will just leave it in there.

thanks

 

anyone?

 

I'm not sure what the difference between the radiators is, but you may want to get an LT1 radiator so that the hoses are located in the right place for the motor. I took my radiator out and replaced it with a Be Cool unit this year because its pretty hot in Tucson. Its sitting in my garage right now collecting dust. Let me know and I can post a picture of the radiator so you can see if its differnt than the one you currently have installed.

 

The fans and their mounting is the same, but the radiator is a different part number. As was already said, the hose connections may not be the same.

 

thanks for the info
