Default 85 ls1 swap radiator question

im currently doing an ls1 swap into my 85 vette and i have a question about what radiator to use. i remember reading somewhere that the ls1s require a steam nipple (?) on the radiator and that the 85s dont have these but i believe the radiators for lt1s do? am i remembering correctly or am i just making this up? and since i need to get a new radiator anyways does anyone know which dewitts radiator would be correct? its for an automatic car. thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, Yes we can help you with your swap. I can give you the right size connections, and also add the steam line you will need. I also recommend our high performance fan upgrade to help pull more air through the added core thickness.
