1964-1967 Chevelle and El Camino A-Body Radiator for LS and LT Engine Swap
Swapping an LS or LT engine into a 1964-1967 Chevy Chevelle or El Camino A body chassis with a manual transmission requires a radiator capable of handling increased heat without hogging space. The 1964-1967 Chevelle Radiator (Manual Trans) is designed to deliver steady coolant flow and reliable heat removal tailored to A body installations. With its LS and LT compatibility, this radiator fits factory style mounting locations and supports manual transmission seal offs for a clean installation. Built from US made aluminum with precision TIG welding, it resists corrosion and sheds heat far faster than stock radiators.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Construction
This radiator features fully TIG welded tanks and core assembled from high quality aluminum. TIG welding creates uniform, full penetration joints that eliminate weak spots and potential leak paths common in lesser assemblies. The choice of aluminum not only keeps overall weight low but also provides the rigidity needed to withstand vibration and road shock in a classic A body chassis. Manufactured in the USA under strict quality guidelines, each unit delivers dependable service life and consistent performance.
Superior Heat Dissipation for LS and LT Engine Swaps
Designed to handle the increased heat output of LS and LT powerplants, this radiator employs a dense parallel flow core that maximizes coolant volume and surface area. As coolant travels through the closely spaced channels, aluminum's natural conductivity moves heat rapidly from the core to ambient air, preventing temperature spikes under hard acceleration or towing. The result is stable coolant temperatures, reduced risk of boil over, and greater confidence when pushing your engine to its limits.
Custom Finish Options for Corrosion Protection and Style
To match personal taste and environmental demands, you can select the classic bare aluminum finish or a black epoxy coating. The polished aluminum offers an authentic vintage look while still resisting typical corrosion, whereas the epoxy layer adds a robust barrier against moisture, road chemicals, and surface wear. Both finishes are applied with care to maintain optimal heat transfer and ensure your radiator retains both its functionality and appearance for years to come.
