LS/LT Radiator with Fans for 1968-72 A-Body Vehicles with Auto Trans
If you're fitting an LS or LT V8 into a classic A-body with an automatic transmission the 1968-1972 A-Body and 1970-1972 Monte Carlo Radiator (Auto Trans) with Fans addresses the challenge of keeping engine temperatures in check under heavy load. Featuring a fully TIG welded aluminum core paired with dual high performance fans it maintains consistent coolant flow whether you are idling at a show or towing a trailer. Installation follows factory layout with original mounts and hoses so your engine swap stays true to the vehicle's structure. Compatible with 1968-1972 Chevelle, Monte Carlo and related A-body models this unit guarantees precise fitment and dependable operation on both street and track.
TIG Welded Aluminum Core for Strength and Durability
Every tank and core joint is completed with TIG welding to deliver a unified structure that resists leaks and withstands pressure spikes common in daily driving and track use. By fusing high-quality aluminum at the molecular level, this process creates a consistent bond free of filler material that can become a weak point under heat. The result is a radiator core that remains rigid under thermal cycling, ensuring coolant passages stay intact and flow remains uninterrupted over thousands of heat-up and cool-down cycles.
Dual Fan Cooling Strategy for Consistent Temperature Regulation
Two pre-installed fans work in tandem to maintain a steady airflow through the radiator core even at low vehicle speeds or in traffic. This approach prevents heat soak when the engine is under load or idling for extended periods, so coolant temperatures stay within an optimal range. The balanced draw from both fans promotes uniform heat extraction, reducing hot spots and helping the engine management system operate with stable temperature readings during spirited drives or towing.
Precision Fit with Original Mounting Layout for LS and LT Swaps
Designed to match the factory mounting points of 1968 to 1972 A-Body vehicles and Monte Carlo models with automatic transmission, this radiator slips into place using existing brackets and hose connections. That compatibility eliminates the need for cutting or welding on the chassis and preserves the vehicle's structural integrity. Installers appreciate the tight tolerances that align fan shrouds, core inlets, and mounting rails, making the swap process faster and reducing the margin for error.
Corrosion Resistant Finishes in Bare Aluminum or Black Epoxy
Choose a classic uncoated aluminum appearance for a period-correct engine bay or opt for a black epoxy layer to add a modern touch while improving resistance to road debris and moisture. Both finishes are formulated to guard against oxidation, extending the life of the radiator when exposed to road salts and environmental pollutants. This coating versatility lets builders match their aesthetic vision without compromising on long-lasting performance.
