Forgot to add that I ended up going with a 28" radiator downgraded from my 34" to allow for charge pipe fitment. Will have to do a LS1 e-fan setup or similar. The 34" rad and e-fans I pulled will go on my OBS Suburban LS swap so it's not a complete waste.

lookin good man, so there was no chance of fitting the charge pipes with the 34" rad? I'll be doing my rcsb soon and am wondering how I'll get the pipes around my 34" radiator

Thanks Jake. I'm in league city. Have a little car shop more or less as a hobby in Dickinson. Good to see local guys here. Have to get together after the truck is running.

Honestly I don't think it would happen. With the wider radiator, the charge pipe would have to routed more towards where the headlights sit if that makes any sense. I'll take a picture looking down on it to help explain what I mean next time I'm over there.
