      Ron Davis Custom Radiator for LS1

      I didn't want to hijack the other thread, so here are some pics of my radiator per VenturaII's request. The radiator is for a '68 Camaro running an LS1. Tim and the Ron Davis crew were great to deal with. Highly recommended.

      It's a doormat. My friend who took the pics said it looked like a dead dog, though. One of those mop-ish looking dogs, ya know? It does do a good job of getting your feet clean, heh.

      But.... can you do a dual pass and have the inlet and outlet on the passenger side ?? It would make H2O pump connections much eaiser for the LSx package..... and could you add a engine oil heat exchanger to the driver side ???

      That is gorgeous? Can car parts be gorgeous? I'll take one with dual fans and the hidden overflow when I'm at that point.

      I'm pretty sure (almost positive) Ron Davis can build the radiator as a dual pass setup w/ both inlets on the pass. side. Hopefully Tim will see this and be able to confirm. I'm not sure on the engine oil heat exchanger, but I'm pretty sure RD can do almost anything on a custom application.

      I'm running dual spal fans with this setup, I should have taken some pics of the shroud as well.

      We can build a double pass radiator with an engine oil cooler on the opposite side of the hose connections. I can't find a picture of a double pass rad with an integrated heat exchanger at the moment but this shows the different hose configurations.

      We built Larry Callahan's radiator just like that.
