      LS2 Swap 67 camaro Radiator help

      Can I run my stock Radiator without fans? Or will I run into overheating issues. Had a 600 RWHP SBC in before and never had overheating issues ever

      And also anyone have a part number or a link to a good aluminum radiator and electric fan? Maybe the afco? Couldn't find it on the site. I'll keep searching

      I have a Ron Davis in mine and was told that I can have the AC going in bumper to bumper traffic on a 110 degree day.

      I used an LT1 radiator and electric fans. They can be had pretty cheaply. I got mine from a $100 parts Z28 i have. The factory LS1 hoses lined up perfect. Had to trim about a 1/2" off of the lower radiator hose to make it fit exactly. I just botled the top flange of the radiator to the radiator support and used a 90* piece of aluminum to do the same for the bottom.

      You guys arent runing ANY kind of fan with your engine? I sure would like the piece of mind. I guess I'm used to the newer vette and fbody style setup with the air dams being the only means of air passing through.

      I have heard of a few guys using the ls1 radiators and fans. Havent hear of anyone using one from a vette although i'm sure it could be done. There is alot of room on the front of these cars.

      here's a pic of my lt1 radiator and fans in.

      I'm going to run my original radiator with my LS1. I'll put electric fans on it and I don't foresee any problems. All radiators do the same thing, the concept is the same for any engine.
