LS Swap Radiator w/ Fans and Overflow Tank Recommendation - Lateral-g Forums

piratebaseball · #1 04-30-2017, 03:06 PM

Going in a 67 Camaro with an aluminum LS 454 engine making around 700hp at the block. Vehicle has vintage air. I also live in South GA and during the summer the temperature stays around mid to upper 90's. I'm looking for a LS Swap radiator that will do what I need it to do with built in fans and an overflow tank connected. This will be for an automatic transmission so I need the trans cooler built in as well. Budget is under $1200.

I've looked at Griffin that Matt sales, but some people love the Griffin and some have leaking issues. If it was just one, then I would say fluke, but I've read multiple of people have had problems with theirs leaking.

Entropy is another interesting piece, but also had some negative reviews and I'm not sure if it has a built in trans cooler or has the overflow tank that can be mounted to the side.

I'm leaning towards PRC right now as I have put my hands on them at Turkey Rod Run.

Anybody else have any feed back to help me out before I take the plunge this week? Thanks guys!

Have you looked at Ron Davis Radiators?

Love my AutoRAD but comes at a price.

I have my Stielow built LS9 in my 69, running a C&R radiator but pricey too

Whatever you use make sure you use some type of rubber mount system and you will lessen the chance of leaks.

Thanks for the imput guys, I ended up ordering a C&R unit. If you are in the market, get it from jegs since they offer free shipping while C&R does not. Saved about $50. I really liked the PRC as well, but with living in South GA, I didn't want to take any chances.

I've been eyeing that new C&R unit as well, looks awesome. Good to know about the free shipping. Give us you opinion when you get it and of course include some pics!

Do you have a part number or link to that c&r unit? I've installed two griffin with attached fans and I've been happy with both. I'd really like to see the Entropy units.

I just finished up installing an Entropy unit last night. Going to test it out tonight.
