Im building a hot rod with a -95 LT1 engine (Camaro Z28). Im having some problems connecting the radiator. The Camaro radiator has four connections and mine only two.
Can someone give me some pointers? What hoses goes to the top of the radiator and so on?
I hope ju understand my question, having a little language problems...

Piraya2, you might try to put something about yourself (age, location, what you like etc.) into the intro section first. Most of us would be more than happy to respond to your question if you join in.

piraya2:rolleyes:The Lt-1 is a reverse flow engine .The outlet at the thermostast goes to the bottom of the rad and the one on the drivers side goes to the top of the rad .Do not put them the other way .These alluminum heads get cooled first . On the front of the water pump remove the stainless tube by rocking it back and forth and pulling on it .After its out tap it and plug it . The other two go to your heater core . The steam port passes through your throttle body and then you must tap it into the rad hose going to the bottom rad . You do this by using a 1 1/2" ribbed plumbing pipe and drilling a hole in it and adding a pipe fitting to the centre of it and welding it .Then attatch your hoses .Make sure you put an overflow bottle in the system as the engine does not like air pockets in the steam port .
