Default Aftermarket radiator 1990 ls400

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good aftermarket radiators that fit in the ls400. I found the Megan racing radiator on lextreme but wanted to check other options. Thanks for any help I'm just sick of plastic on my current radiator and my goal for the car is about 400hp in the next couple years

There aren't any that are drop in replacements. You should in theory be able to get a Supra or similarly sized SC radiator to drop in but you would need to add an aftermarket transmission cooler first since the aluminum radiators out there don't have built in trans coolers.

I too am planning on a nice alum radiator. I think I'll most likely go with the one on lextreme. Summit racing has some decent trans cooler setups, that are pretty budget friendly.

nothing's bolt-in, but it's not rocket science either. Just a little fab work, some hose-sourcing, and a trans cooler install.
