These are made by a completely different manufacturer. Our radiators have the coolant line bungs for automatic transmissions or other external cooling options where the ebay ones do not. I haven't seen an ebay one up close and personal but can tell by the photos that the build quality on theirs isn't quite up to par. But it's only $199, you get what you pay for.
I need a new radiator for my ls1 automatic transmission powered 40. Will this work well and properly cool that combination? Is this a direct bolt in? Thanks, Ed

This is a direct bolt-in, and it will cool your LS1 just fine, this radiator has the automatic coolant ports already built in so no need for an external tranny cooler.
I received the radiator. Looks good but can not find anyone around here that has the fittings to bolt onto the radiator for the intake and outflow on the transmission cooler. Can you help? Do you have any? Can you ship me some? Thanks, Ed

Ed, Have you tried your local hardware store? I have always had good luck finding brass fittings in the plumbing section. Are you using your factory lines or aftermarket lines for a GM Transmission?
Hello: the problem is with the depth of the flare and the fittings I am finding at the parts store. I found some fittings at a industrial parts store but we are add a brass type flare washer inside to provide a good seal and allow the brass fitting to bottom out. The tranny lines are 5/16. It was just hard to find anyone with the fitting in this small town in Florida. I think I have it worked out. I will let you know.

Got it in with no major problems. Appears to cooling 20 to 30 degrees cooler then the stock radiator. Thanks, Ed
