Well since i can't find a engine combo yet i guess ill buy my radiator setup.

Im looking for a quality radiator to work with my 1st gen Camaro that will have a ls swap done to it. I would like it to be complete ready to bolt in. The PRC radiators are nice and i liked the entropy radiator but the fans were thicker, overflow nipple hits the radiator cap, and the radiator cap touches the fender braces.

Prc unit is $1000 plus extra if i want it polished. unsure of the fan setup.

Entropy is about $800 full 11" fans unsure of the brand

Is it worth the extra $200? what is the difference in radiators? Griffin also makes a radiator. Who else is recommended?

ron davis 13" fans runs $1300 - $1400

$1300 for a C&R with dual 11" fans

We've had nothing but success with BeCool radiators.. Might be able to work with you on the price too.

I also forgot to mention that i want to stick under $1100. I would rather spend $600 to $800 but if the quality is night and day from a $700 radiator to a $1000 radiator i will pay the difference.

I'd be happy to help anyway I can.


Our fans are our own, and carry the same LIFETIME warranty as all our products!

I put the Entropy set up in my 1968 Camaro and I love it. It fits great and looks even better.
The things you listed as problems, really aren't too bad. The radiator cap is real close to the fender brace but I can still remove it without removing the fender brace. The overflow nipple took a little playing with but still threaded in no problem.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

If I had to do it again I would have gone becool instead of griffin. They have the brackets to make fans work with them. Last time I looked griffen doesn't have anything.
