radiator
« on: December 11, 2014, 08:54:49 pm »
My 82 GMC has a coolant leak. And I'm slowly getting parts together for my 5.3 swap. When doing the swap is a new factory radiator efficient enough for that swap. I have to buy a rad know might as well pony up if its better to. Any suggestions

Might want to check the LS swap board just to make sure any replacement radiator you buy will work with the LS engine.

I am using my factory 4 core radiator and I soldered a fitting in the heater return for the steam tube.
