Here is his description from eBay...
"This is our heavy duty Entropy aluminum radiator for the '67 - '69 Camaro and Firebird with 11.5" HP fans and an aluminum shroud. MADE IN THE USA. This listing is for a LS1/LS2/LS3/LS7 swap radiator for either a manual transmission or automatic version setup for a 4L60e (please specify at checkout). This radiator has all of the correct connections required for swapping a LSX into your first generation fbody, with both hose connections on the passenger side as shown. This radiator will fit both original big block and small block cars, as well as all 67 - 69 firebirds. This unit is built using the HD big block core from our big block 1st gen fbody radiator handle the most demanding summer conditions with the A/C blasting. This bolts in directly - no holes to drill or a trip to the hardware store for a parts hunt or drilling holes in your core support. Also included is the aluminum shroud with high powered 11.5" paddle blade fans (not the cheap lower powered fans) delivering a TRUE 3000 CFM. Together, they pull 35-40 amps (check the current rating on the cheapy fans that claim to pull high CFM).dum

Like all of our radiators, it's made with pride in the USA with USA made cores. Unlike most radiators, our cores are purpose built for high performance cooling and not standard passenger car (PC) cores. All of our radiators are fully TIG welded, use heavy duty transmission coolers, no epoxy, a billet filler neck, brass overflow connections and a brass drain ****.

For a plug-and-play wiring kit, please see our other auction for the thermostatic sealed relay wiring kit.

FAQ

We've been offering our Entropy USA made radiators on Ebay for over five years. We make what we sell and all of our radiators are made in house. We've sold 1000s of radiators to many repeat customers and referrals of customers.

How can your radiator be half the price of X-Cool if it's a high quality unit?

Quite simply, we don't have a bunch of middle men fleecing money out of your pockets and running the price up. With a typical high performance product company, there are a bunch of distribution middle man that don't add any value to the product but since they need a slice of the pie, they run the price up. By selling directly to our customers without wholesalers, warehouse distributors, jobbers, product represenatives, etc, in the way, we can keep our costs way down. We also don't have a big marketing budget that most companies employ, which also runs the price you pay up.

How does your radiator compare to the same X-Cool brand cooling module that is twice the price?

Our units are fully precision TIG welded, made with heavy duty cores and purpose built for the application.These days, many high performance radiator companies only TIG weld the top section of the radiator and have unskilled workers MIG weld the rest of the radiator. We do not do this. Our radiators are 100% TIG welded, made with high grade aluminum alloy tanks, billet machined components and will hold their own next to any familiar brand unit costing 2X or 3X more.

What type of cap and coolant do you recommend using?

An 18 PSI or higher cap is recommended. Prestone coolant is recommended for it's superior corrosion resistance.

Do you make custom radiators?

Yes we welcome custom inquiries. Just ask.
