i think so - i've read people using lt1 radiators in ls1 turbo vehicles

okay thanks, i want to try to find a write up on it to make sure. a new lt1 radiator is like 133.00 new, i found an ls1 rad for 75.00 so i hope i can spend 75.00 instead of 133.00 haha

An LT1 radiator is slightly thicker then an LS1 so it has slightly larger capacity (about 20% more). I would just be careful as you might have cooling issues?

That's what I was thinking. An iron short block will need more cooling capacity than an aluminum one...

So for ~$60 more you can get a nice new one? I'd file that under no-brainer.

not if the money flow isnt that great and i need a car. thanks for the info guys. i will just have to wait it out till i can get a new one, your right about just buying a new one though.
