Sorry I should have added clarity there.

What I mean is why pay for a conversion or even AL radiator when the stock 67-72 units provide enough cooling capacity for an LS swap.

I worried about this issue needlessly while doing my swap years ago. When the fact is the stock radiator is 100% for daily use in hot or cold weather. Mine spends half its life loaded up, so this isn't a light duty trailer queen by any means that doesn't see work.

I point here is just to save the next guy some $ that could be spent elsewhere on the build.
