1964-1967 Chevy Chevelle/El Camino A-Body Radiator with Fans for LS and LT Engines
When swapping an LS or LT powerplant into a 1964 through 1967 Chevelle or El Camino manual chassis you need a radiator that matches original A Body mounts and manages coolant temperatures under hard driving or idling traffic. Crafted in the USA to exact factory dimensions this unit offers a TIG welded aluminum core and dual electric fans that switch on with rising engine heat. Each fan operates automatically without driver input to maintain proper coolant flow and prevent heat soak when the vehicle is stopped. Installation follows stock frame rail geometry so steering linkages and shifter rods clear without trimming or adjustment.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Core for Consistent Cooling Performance
The radiator's core is constructed from high-quality aluminum plates and tanks that are fully joined using tungsten inert gas welding. This process produces uniform, bead-free welds that eliminate filler materials, preserving the metal's strength and thermal conductivity. As engine heat cycles rise and fall, the joint integrity resists fatigue, preventing leaks and maintaining consistent heat rejection across the entire surface. The smooth surfaces also accommodate slight expansion and vibration without stress concentration, which is crucial for sustained performance under both track use and urban driving. Built in the USA to exact factory dimensions, this assembly supports long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.
Automated Dual Electric Fans with Thermostat Control for Variable Driving Conditions
This radiator integrates two high-output electric fans that activate automatically through precision temperature sensors, ensuring airflow when it is most needed. During extended idling or low-speed travel, the fans engage to prevent coolant boiling and eliminate heat buildup in the core. Under heavy acceleration or track runs, the fans modulate speed to maintain stable coolant temperatures without placing extra load on the engine. Their slim housing is engineered to fit within the factory frame rails, allowing unhindered movement of steering and shifter linkages. The hands-free operation removes guesswork, so drivers can focus on performance without concern for overheating.
Exact A Body Mounting Geometry for Seamless Chevelle and El Camino Integration
Designed specifically for 1964 through 1967 Chevy Chevelle and El Camino manual-transmission chassis, this radiator drops into the A Body frame using original bracket locations. Critical clearances are preserved for steering arms, control rods, and crossmembers, which means no cutting or trimming of stock components is necessary. By matching the factory mounting geometry and hose connections, installers avoid custom fabrication and can rely on factory-style support brackets. The alignment with stock hose fittings ensures that coolant lines seat properly, reducing installation time and preserving chassis integrity. This precision fitment approach delivers a true plug-and-play experience.
Customizable Corrosion Protection with Bare Aluminum or Epoxy Coating
Builders have the choice of a polished bare aluminum finish that naturally forms a protective oxide layer or a durable black epoxy coating for enhanced corrosion resistance. Both options maintain full thermal transfer capability, so heat rejection remains uncompromised regardless of exterior treatment. The bare finish highlights the core's machined surfaces and weld quality, while the epoxy layer adds an extra barrier against road salt, moisture, and debris in demanding environments. Each treatment is applied in a controlled process to preserve dimensional accuracy and ensure consistent performance throughout the radiator's service life.
