LS and LT Radiator with Fans for 1968-1972 A-Body and 1970-1972 Monte Carlo
For anyone installing an LS or LT engine into a 1968-1972 A-Body or early Monte Carlo chassis, this radiator (Auto Trans) with fans maintains stable coolant temperatures across city traffic and highway driving. Its TIG welded aluminum core creates uniform weld beads that resist leaks through repeated thermal cycles while the dual fans balance airflow at low speeds and share electrical load on the open road to reduce noise. Precision frame mounts and stock hose connections ensure direct installation with no cutting or drilling, preserving under hood clearance around steering linkages and exhaust manifolds.
Precision TIG Welding in Aluminum Core Construction
The radiator core and tanks are assembled using a meticulous TIG welding process that fuses high grade aluminum with uniform weld beads. This method preserves the full wall thickness of tube and tank joints without filler bulk, ensuring each bond maintains structural integrity under repeated thermal cycling. By eliminating gaps and maintaining true geometry of coolant passages, the core delivers consistent heat transfer and resists leak paths even when subjected to sustained engine loads. As a result, users benefit from a robust assembly that stands up to spirited driving or towing without compromise in coolant containment.
Efficient Airflow Balance with Dual Fan Design
This radiator features two high flow fans mounted directly to its face to draw air evenly across every fin and tube row. At lower vehicle speeds the fans pull a steady breeze to stabilize coolant temperature in stop to go traffic, while on open highway runs they split electrical load for quieter operation. Sharing the workload reduces motor stress and extends service life of each fan assembly. The result is a balanced cooling performance that prevents localized hotspots under sustained power delivery and maintains stable engine temps in varied driving scenarios.
Material Quality and Coating Defense Against Corrosion
Constructed from high quality aluminum, the radiator offers intrinsic resistance to rust through its natural oxide layer when left bare. For drivers seeking extra protection, a black epoxy option seals all surfaces to block moisture, salt and road debris while preserving a clean appearance. The epoxy adheres tightly, shielding coolant passages and external fins from abrasion and corrosion over time. Both finishes ensure longevity: the uncoated metal may develop a subtle patina that still protects, while the coated version delivers a uniform barrier against environmental wear.
Plug and Play Fit for Classic A Body and Monte Carlo Frames
Designed specifically for 1968 through 1972 A Body models and early Monte Carlo chassis, this radiator aligns precisely with factory support points for a direct installation. Stock hose connections mate with existing coolant lines without adapters or modifications, preserving original routing and under hood clearance around steering linkages and exhaust manifolds. The result is a time-saving install that avoids cutting, drilling or guesswork. Owners can rely on consistent fitment and maintain the classic engine bay layout while upgrading to a modern LS or LT cooling solution.
