1962-1967 Chevy II/Nova X-Body LS Swap Radiator with Auto Trans Fans
When installing an LS engine into a 1962 to 1967 Chevy II or Nova with an automatic transmission, controlling underhood heat becomes critical and this radiator with dual fans meets that challenge head on. Constructed around a full TIG welded aluminum core, this assembly sheds weight ahead of the front suspension and resists cracks under extreme thermal cycling. With twin electric fans that adjust speed based on coolant temperature the unit protects engine and transmission circuits without extra components. All mounting points match factory frame rails and hardware streamlines installation so builders can focus on plumbing and wiring instead of fabrication.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Core
This radiator is built around a full TIG welded core and tanks made from high quality aluminum. Uniform weld beads seal coolant passages without extra gaskets so crack risk is minimal under thermal cycling. The all aluminum construction sheds mass ahead of the front suspension to improve balance and response on the street or at the track. Fabricated in the USA to strict standards, each unit delivers consistent heat rejection whether you are idling in traffic or pushing vigorously on open roads.
Adaptive Dual Fans for Engine and Transmission Cooling
Two electric fans monitor coolant temperature and ramp up airflow as needed to protect both the LS engine and automatic transmission circuit. A plug in wiring harness connects directly to factory sensors for seamless integration with no custom wiring. The synchronized operation of both fans prevents heat soak during extended idling and reduces strain on the coolant pump in slow traffic. This system ensures stable underhood temperatures across varied driving conditions.
Flexible Coating Options for Durability and Style
You can choose between a polished bare aluminum finish that reflects radiant heat for faster energy transfer or a black epoxy coat that defends against moisture and road debris. Both finishes resist corrosion and maintain structural strength in harsh environments. The uncoated surface highlights clean metal lines, while the epoxy option complements a darker engine bay aesthetic. Each variant preserves performance and appearance through years of service.
Direct Frame Rail Fit for Simplified Installation
Mounting points match the original frame rail locations on 1962 to 1967 Chevy II and Nova models for a true direct fit. All hardware is included to let builders focus on connecting hoses and wiring instead of fabricating brackets. This precise alignment preserves firewall clearance and steering link movement in tight engine bays. By eliminating the need for extra parts or modification, the radiator installs quickly and securely for reliable cooling from the start.
