Default Best radiator for a LSX?

I'm looking to finally getting time to install my LS7 in my 69 Camaro but who makes a good radiator for this swap?
Thanks,
Mike

I can highly reccomend two places..

The first is Alumarad which I used on my '69.. his pricing was good and I was happy with the product. He will also custom do whatever you want. www.alumrad.com

The second is AFCO.. their pricing is very good and the quality seems to be top notch so far (I have it to install in my '68 but haven't ran it yet).

Either way I would get one with the inlet and outlet both on the right side.. it makes plumbing the LS1 much easier.

Ron Davis makes some nice stuff but it's also the most expensive.

AFCO makes a direct bolt in for the LSX swap,
