LT1 with 3rd gen radiator!!!

Hi everybody,

I have a few questions about LT1 swap into 3rd gen with 3rd gen radiator.

Here You can see 3rd gen radiator pipes:


I connected two pipes like that:



This pipe goes here I think? Left little pipe is for bottle I know.



So, that's what's left, three "ports" on water pump. Pipe left is from throttle body. I have two more pipes from oil cooler also.



I don't have heater in cabin and I don't have to connect cabin radiator so where to put all those pipes on water pump?

Could anybody tell me what's the stock pipe "combination" on LT1 water pump?




Thank You very much in advance.

Re: LT1 with 3rd gen radiator!!!

I think that I found some informations about cooling flow

So, if I don't have heater, can I fit oil cooler lines on that two pipes (left pipes) on water pump, instead of heater pipes?

This third little pipe from water pump to radiator, I'll block with something. Is this OK solution for my option with 3rd gen radiator?

Thanks.

You should be able to or delete the oil cooler also I think they quit putting them on after 95.
