1962-1967 Chevy II/Nova LS Swap Radiator with Auto Trans Fans
Fitting an LS engine into a 1962 to 1967 Chevy II or Nova with an automatic transmission demands a cooling solution that holds firm against heat soak at idle during long runs. This radiator features a TIG welded aluminum core and twin electric fans that modulate air flow as coolant temperature rises to safeguard both engine and transmission circuits. Designed to mount at factory frame points with no extra brackets, it arrives with all necessary hardware for a precise, corrosion resistant installation preserving clearance in tight engine compartments. Manufactured in the USA with quality controls, each unit meets rigorous standards for durability and consistent heat transfer on both street and track.
TIG Welded Aluminum Core for Consistent Cooling Performance
The radiator core and end tanks are fused by full TIG welding using high quality aluminum, creating uniform beads that resist cracking under extreme heat cycles. This method limits possible leak paths and keeps coolant contained even at high pressures. The all aluminum design also sheds weight ahead of the front suspension for better chassis balance. Fabricated in the USA under strict quality controls, each unit delivers dependable heat rejection in both idle and track use.
Dual Electric Fans for Engine and Transmission Heat Management
Two high capacity fans draw air across the core whenever coolant reaches preset thresholds, preventing heat soak during idling or stop and go driving. As temperature climbs, fan speed ramps smoothly to protect both engine and automatic transmission circuits from thermal overload. A plug and play wiring harness ties into existing sensors for seamless integration. The result is precise airflow control under all conditions.
Bare Aluminum and Epoxy Coating Options for Lasting Protection
Choose between polished bare aluminum or a black epoxy finish to match your engine bay theme and resist corrosion. The uncoated surface reflects heat and promotes efficient transfer, while the epoxy layer shields against moisture, road debris, and oxidation. Both options maintain structural integrity in harsh environments and retain a clean appearance over time. This flexibility ensures your swap remains both functional and visually appealing.
Factory Frame Mounting for Simplified Installation
This radiator mounts directly to original frame points with no extra brackets required, maintaining stock clearance and avoiding interference in tight X body engine compartments. All necessary hardware is included to streamline the fitment process and eliminate guesswork. The design preserves firewall and steering linkage space, allowing builders to focus on plumbing and wiring. Installation time is reduced without sacrificing fit or performance.
Built for consistent heat rejection in both street and track applications this radiator ensures reliable engine and transmission protection. For the same radiator but without fans see our 1962-1967 Chevy II Radiator (Automatic Transmission).
