LS and LT Radiator for 1968-1972 A-Body and Monte Carlo
The 1968-1972 A-Body and 1970-1972 Monte Carlo Radiator (Auto Trans) streamlines cooling for LS and LT swaps in classic GM platforms, ensuring your powertrain stays within safe temperature limits under load. Backed by a sturdy aluminum core and a 400 liter per hour water pump, this radiator installs into your vehicle's existing mounts with minimal alteration. Enthusiasts will appreciate how it supports common automatics like the 4L60E and 4L80E, making it a direct-fit cooling solution for a range of Chevelle, Skylark, Cutlass, GTO, LeMans and El Camino builds.
Advanced Aluminum Core and Coating for Superior Cooling
The radiator features a high quality aluminum core that rapidly dissipates heat under extreme conditions. Its bare aluminum finish delivers a classic engine bay appearance, while the optional black epoxy coating offers added protection against corrosion and road debris. Aluminum's inherent light weight and excellent thermal conductivity help lower front-end mass without sacrificing strength, making it well suited for engines that exceed stock output. Built in the USA, each unit withstands repeated heat cycles and sustains stable coolant temperatures throughout long drives or track sessions.
Effortless Direct Fitment for 1968 to 1972 A Body and Monte Carlo
Designed to align precisely with factory mounts found on 1968 to 1972 GM A Body cars and 1970 to 1972 Monte Carlo models, this radiator installs with no need for cutting or welding. It clears popular automatics such as the 4L60E and 4L80E transmissions, allowing you to retain the original tunnel and crossmember setup. This engineered compatibility reduces installation time and eliminates common clearance headaches. Whether you're swapping in an LS or an LT engine, hose locations and bracket points match stock layouts for a seamless upgrade.
Optimized Cooling Flow with 400 Liter per Hour Pump for LS and LT Engines
Central to this system is a water pump rated at 400 liter per hour to maintain uninterrupted coolant circulation in high output applications. By ensuring elevated flow rates, the radiator prevents localized overheating and minimizes the chance of boiling under sustained load. This capacity is critical for turbocharged or supercharged LS and LT engines, where efficient heat rejection preserves peak power delivery. The combined pump and core design guarantees reliable thermal management on long highway runs or during spirited track use.
