LS3 Cooling Options

[robby8388]

I'm swapping a LS3/TR6060 in my 68 Camaro and the radiator is the last piece of the puzzle to make it all fit together. Since the TR6060 has coolant lines I was going to get a radiator for an automatic to solve that, but that still leaves the power steering and oil coolers. Is there a simple bolt in solution instead of finding space for 3 different radiators/coolers? It's mainly going to be street driven with the occasional track day thrown in. It gets hot down here in Florida so I'd rather not delete unless it's common. Any advice would be appreciated!

The plan right now is to run the water pump and trans lines to the radiator and get two small coolers for the oil/power steering and finding a random spot up front to put them.. If you have any pictures of your layout that would help too!!

I'd personally ditch the tr6060 and go t56... that's what I did..

Then just remove the oil cooler and plug it and no issues

C&R Racing makes radiators with coolers built in. They're spendy though.

I've got a massive RF64 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII fan kit that is a literal drop in unit for you-temp triggers work off your PCM too! PM for details!

Check out Entropy. They make a bolt in for an LSx in a first gen Camaro. I put one in my 68 and an LS3. It fit real nice, dual fans with an electronic controller. Pretty straight forward install. I've had zero issues with it. I live in So Cal so we get the hot weather here also. Never gets over 190 with the A/C on.

I used the 2013 camaro original radiator and fans and made my own bracket for them. Its gonna be easy to find parts if something brakes etc and those original parts wont cost nearly as much as aftermarket rad for 1968 camaro and ls3. When i put the original rad also the cooling hoses fit straight from the newer car, many problems solved with that.
