I don't know if it would be worth it. Less than a month after I picked my 95 in 2004 my radiator went, as I live in Palm Springs and it was still summer where our temps are 110+ for 3 months I went to the dealer. I would not do that now, but at the time I didn't know anything about Corvettes. I would not use the dealer.

I agree with going with the stock type and, BTW, I'm in the market for one for a 96 LT1.
Shoot me a post on what kind of prices you've come up with.
Best I've found so far is $137.00 with free shipping and no sales tax.

I just got back from SoCal, I'm really glad I had my aftermarket radiator in it. It has a larger core section Temp stayed at 177 all the way down the Pacific Coast Highway. Nice and cool while I was in the desert too.

Jake - where'd you find it for 137?
that's a way better price than most auto stores???? Seems I typically see it for about 200 on the cheap end.
just replaced mine with a stock one for $133.00 at a local rad shop Ph# 305-688-0740. Miami, Fl

What is the notch in the be-cool spacers. I made some out of 3/4 bar stock and they work without a notch.
