      Looking for a radiator for an Ls 71 Firebird...any suggestions?

      I'm looking for a quality radiator that, once in, doesn't have to come back out for any reason. I'm running a stock Ls3 with an auto. One main thing I'd like is something that will drop in with no modifications and some sort of mount system. There are so many companies out there, it's a tough decision. I don't see many that offer a mounting solution either. I had a Griffin that developed a leak. It was one of their direct fit Ls swap radiators and it was a very tight fit. Has anyone tried Afco?

      I've been super pleased with my C&R that has both an integrated oil and power steering coolers. It comes with brackets already welded so I just set the height I wanted and drilled the holes. It's not cheap, but it's a high quality piece.

      We've used Afco on other models, and they've worked out. We mostly use BeCool and have been very happy.
