LT1 swap, which Dewitts radiator?
So I have my camaro LT1 motor for my 70, and am close to starting the teardown and reassembly or the rolling chassis. I want to order a dewitts radiator while they have the gp sale, and am not sure which one is best suited for the FI LT1s, and which water pump to use as well.
All you current swapped LT1 owners, let me know what works best, thanks.

It's not about the engine your installing, it's all about the mounting. We have an aluminum radiator to fit all the core supports so the best one is the one that fits your current configuration. Assuming your car was originally a small block, then you have the 26" mount if the car came with AC, Auto, or L46, or any combination of these. The aluminum direct fit for that is A70 model which uses no separate surge tank. If it was without AC, Auto, or HP engine, then you could have the 18" factory aluminum radiator with a surge tank. The direct fit for that one is a A63M.
