LS and LT Radiator for 1968-1972 A-Body Chevelle Monte Carlo El Camino
If you are fitting an LS or LT engine with an automatic transmission into a 1968-1972 A-Body or Monte Carlo chassis, this radiator solves the common overheating risks by offering precise frame mounting and ample coolant capacity. Crafted around a full aluminum core and matched with a 400 lph water pump, it sustains stable flow under heavy load and spirited highway driving. Designed to bolt into original 1968-1972 mounting points, it provides clearance for 4L60E and 4L80E applications without any trimming or welding. Manufactured in the USA, each unit ensures tidy hose routing and reliable performance on stock and boosted powerplants.
Precision Engine Cooling with Full Aluminum Core
This radiator uses a full aluminum core to harness the metal's natural ability to transfer heat and resist corrosion in demanding swap applications. Precision formed tubes and fins create an open cell structure that maximizes airflow across every row, while a 400 lph water pump sustains consistent coolant circulation under sustained load or spirited driving. Maintaining stable engine temperatures helps protect seals and gaskets, reducing the risk of leaks and premature wear. The core's lightweight construction also contributes to lower front-end mass, improving chassis balance without sacrificing strength.
Seamless Integration into A Body and Monte Carlo Frames
Designed to bolt directly into the original locations on 1968 through 1972 A Body and 1970-1972 Monte Carlo chassis, this unit requires no trimming or welding for factory-style installation. Built-in clearance accommodates popular automatic transmissions such as 4L60E and 4L80E, ensuring unobstructed space around the bell housing and accessory drives. By preserving the stock crossmember and tunnel geometry, installers benefit from simplified hose routing and reduced alignment concerns. The result is a clean engine bay layout that delivers reliable fitment and streamlined assembly.
Custom Bare Aluminum and Epoxy Coatings for Lasting Protection
Choose a natural bare aluminum finish for easy inspection of core integrity or opt for a tough black epoxy that shields against moisture, road debris and chemical exposure. The epoxy barrier is especially valuable in coastal or winter environments where salt and grit can accelerate corrosion. Both finishes maintain identical thermal performance and flow characteristics, so you can achieve the look you want without compromise. Each radiator is assembled and tested in the United States, ensuring consistent quality and peace of mind on every build.
