I ordered an LS swap radiator from summit and sent it back as well due to fitment issues. Judging by your pictures you have this cured. Is the radiator available to purchase yet?

The radiator in the red truck is made by CRS...make sure you're sitting down if you go looking for pricing information.

Thanx for the advice. This issue has been the biggest pain in my rear end of this entire swap.

I incorrectly stated the name of the source of the radiator earlier...the correct name is C&R Radiators.

I bought the 20-137 kit. I keep hearing of an install kit I will need. Can you advise what that is (and part number) please?

Depending on the engine you are installing the kit with, you may need to use an available spacer kit to match the fore/aft offset of the Holley components with the water pump and balancer on your engine. What LS engine are you installing?

These are the part numbers of the Holley installation kits; pick the one you need based on the water pump/balancer offset you have on your engine...

Corvette/CTSV - 21-1, F-Body/GTO- 21-2 or truck- 21-3
