LS and LT Radiator with Fan for 1968-1972 Chevy Nova and 1964-1966 Buick Skylark
When fitting an LS or LT mill into a 1968-1972 Nova or 1964-1966 Skylark, this radiator with fan assures consistent heat rejection under manual transmission layouts. Crafted for the X-Body chassis, it installs with no frame modification and clears belts and pulleys while drawing minimal amperage. The aluminum core resists corrosion and rapidly transfers engine heat into the coolant, preventing hot spots during city driving or spirited runs. Installation aligns directly with stock hose openings and mounting points to preserve uniform coolant flow and steady operating temperatures.
Tailored Fit for Chevy Nova and Buick Skylark Platforms
Designed to bolt directly into the 1968 to 1972 Nova and 1964 to 1966 Skylark without frame changes, this radiator matches stock inlet and outlet locations for a hassle free swap. Its slim profile clears manual transmission linkages and accessory drives so original belts, pulleys, and mounts can stay in place. By preserving the factory mounting points, coolant flows evenly through the core and minimizes hot spots even under sustained load. Install time is cut significantly compared to universal radiators that require trimming or bracket fabrication.
Advanced Aluminum Core with Finish Choices
Crafted from premium aluminum, the core provides rapid heat transfer thanks to its high thermal conductivity and light weight. You can choose a classic bare metal surface to emphasize the alloy grain or select a black epoxy coat for extra corrosion defense in harsh conditions. Both finishes withstand repeated thermal cycles and maintain seal integrity at elevated coolant pressures. The result is a unit that resists wear while delivering consistent engine cooling across varied driving scenarios.
Optimized Single Fan Cooling with Low Electrical Draw
The integrated fan moves ample air through the core while drawing minimal amperage from the charging system. This balance reduces strain on the alternator and electrical accessories compared to dual fan arrangements, yet still prevents engine overheating in city traffic or extended high rpm runs. Simplified wiring and a compact motor housing free up space in the engine bay and cut down on installation complexity. With this setup, you gain dependable airflow control without sacrificing accessory clearance or charging capacity.
