Was his the LS version Scout? We've had a bunch of those ordered lately, as well as some 1949 1950 1951 Mercury lead sleds.

LS conversions seem to be comprising about 40% of our radiator builds these days. That's why we offer stock configuration as well as custom engine conversion configurations. Growing up, there was nothing I hated more than not being able to find a radiator for my custom projects, or having to run super long hoses to original port locations. Always made the engine compartments look junky.

The whole LS craze hasn't quite made it to my area yet, I have yet to see a LS transplant at any of the local car shows. I know there are a few running around but only a small handful of guys have made the jump to LS motors in this area that I know of. I have a few buddies who are getting the bug since seeing what I am building but none of them have bit the bullet yet and made the switch.

they are everywhere out here. Can't go to a single car event where you won't find one. They are inexpensive, make great power, can fit most anywhere, and are reliable. I love them.

Bringing these around again. These are a direct fit replacement, and are the same thickness as a 4-core standard.

The stock set up with our dual electric fans can handle 450 or so. Above that, I recommend stepping up to our HD fans. On similar set ups, they have cooled 650hp engines. Our radiators are built with dual 1" thick cores (same thickness as a 4-core).

Are these made and welded up in america? or china core? found answer on website
epoxy free? found answer on website

are we able to get a 2 row with 1.25 core?
what brand fans? do you offer SPAL?
I considered Alumitech the best, but they went under
Think that's all the questions I have at the moment.
Sure looks pretty though and price looks just as good

These are hand made here in the US, and we NEVER use epoxy, period. We can build with 1.25" cores, but they tend to work the opposite and cool slightly less due to the bottlenecking of air as it goes through the cores / fins. We build 99.9999% of our radiators with dual 1" thick cores.

good deal, and never knew that about 1.25 ..I always thought they cooled better since more flow

there is more capacity, but you'd be better off working on tuning, better fans, etc.

ok,
single pass or double pass?
I'll have to order one for my next project i plan to get this spring/summer

SparkyRnD

if you have an LS with both ports on the passenger side, its a double pass. If standard SBC, then a single pass.
