1968-72 Nova & 1964-66 Skylark Radiator & Fan for LS/LT Swaps

Built for tight engine bays in 1968 to 1972 Chevy Nova and 1964 to 1966 Buick Skylark LS and LT swaps, this slim aluminum radiator integrates a performance fan to clear manual transmission accessories while drawing minimal amperage and sustaining strong airflow. Local craftsmanship and a precision welded core ensure rapid heat rejection, corrosion resistance and a precise fit for reliable cooling under all driving conditions.

1968-1972 Nova and 1964-1966 Skylark LS/LT Radiator with Fan for Manual Trans

For builders swapping an LS or LT mill into a 1968-1972 Chevy Nova or 1964-1966 Buick Skylark with a manual transmission this radiator with fan meets the critical need for effective heat rejection without altering the chassis. Its slim single fan package preserves clearance around drive belts and pulleys while drawing minimal amperage from the charging system. Crafted from corrosion resistant aluminum the core channels coolant through a precision welded network that prevents hot spots during urban traffic or spirited runs. Mounting aligns directly with factory hose inlets and frame brackets on the X-Body chassis for a straightforward install that retains stock hose routing.

Precision Fitment for Nova and Skylark X Body Chassis

This radiator is engineered to bolt directly into 1968–1972 Chevy Nova and 1964–1966 Buick Skylark frames without any modifications to the body. Mounting points align precisely with factory hose inlets and frame brackets, preserving the original routing for coolant lines and accessory drives. The slim profile ensures full clearance around manual transmission linkages, belts, and pulleys, so there is no need to relocate or trim existing components. By maintaining stock dimensions and attachment points, installation time is reduced and the risk of coolant flow disruption or hot spots is minimized during spirited driving or prolonged idling.

High Quality Aluminum Core with Bare and Epoxy Finishes

Crafted from high quality aluminum, the core channels heat away from the LS or LT engine quickly thanks to the metal's superior thermal conductivity and low weight. Customers can choose a classic bare finish to showcase the alloy's natural grain or opt for a black epoxy coat that adds an extra layer of corrosion protection in harsh environments. Both surface treatments stand up to repeated thermal cycling and maintain seal integrity at elevated coolant pressures. The result is a durable heat exchanger that endures road salt, moisture, and extended track sessions without degrading the aluminum matrix.

Optimized One Fan Cooling for Low Electrical Demand

The integrated fan assembly is designed to move ample air through the radiator core while drawing minimal amperage from the charging system. This balance reduces stress on the alternator and other electrical accessories, a key advantage over dual-motor solutions that can overload factory wiring. The compact motor housing tucks neatly into the engine bay, preserving room for power steering pumps and belt-driven accessories. Whether crawling through city traffic or sustaining high rpm on back roads, this one fan setup delivers consistent airflow and reliable temperature control.

Precision Core Design Prevents Hot Spots and Ensures Longevity

Inside the core, a precision-welded network of fins and passages forces coolant to spread evenly across the entire heat exchanger surface. This even distribution prevents localized overheating during stop-and-go traffic or under heavy load, reducing the chance of steam pockets that can compromise performance. The robust weld joints and alloy construction withstand vibration and pressure fluctuations, ensuring the unit remains leak-free over years of service. The combination of thoughtful internal flow paths and sturdy fabrication delivers consistent engine cooling, allowing builders to focus on power and handling without worry of thermal limitations.

Count on reliable cooling for your LS or LT project. For the same radiator but without a fan consider our 1968-1972 Nova and 1964-1966 Skylark Radiator (Manual Transmission).
