I don't understand the inlet and outlet on the same side for an "LS" swap radiator. They cost more than a standard radiator "by a lot" and serve no discernable purpose that a normal radiator doesn't/can't do. I say this because the 2008 Escalade that I got my motor/tranny out of had it's radiator inlet and outlet in the standard SB chevy orientation so this indicates to me that it's not necessary to buy the swap radiators. I can see it if you have an issue with clearance on one side but in these trucks that isn't an issue as far as I can tell. Just my 2cents.
