LS Radiator for 1965-1970 Chevy Impala B-Body Auto Trans
When fitting an LS engine into a 1965 to 1970 Chevy Impala with automatic transmission, radiator clearance at the power steering box can make or break a clean install. This 1965-1970 Impala Radiator (Auto Trans) arrives with pre notched lower corners so it drops into the original mounts without any sheet metal modification. Built in the USA from premium aluminum, its full core design moves heat from coolant under sustained torque while resisting corrosion for consistent operation. By preserving the classic front end profile and eliminating extra brackets, this radiator streamlines your LS swap while maintaining factory alignment and simplifying future service tasks.
Precision Fit for Seamless LS Swap Installation
This radiator arrives with pre notched lower corners that align exactly with the power steering box on a 1965-1970 Chevy Impala B-Body chassis, eliminating the need for sheet metal cutting or bracket fabrication. By matching factory frame rail dimensions, it drops in on original mounting points and maintains the classic front end profile. The built in clearance not only speeds installation but also preserves structural integrity, so there is no compromise to the vehicle's factory sheet metal. Manufactured in the USA to exact tolerances, the unit fits squarely and prevents twisting or misalignment under vibration. Technicians will appreciate how the precise fit simplifies future access for service tasks and keeps the engine bay looking clean and original.
Premium Aluminum Core Engineered for Efficient Cooling
At the heart of this radiator is a full aluminum core crafted from premium alloy, chosen for its exceptional heat conduction and resistance to corrosion. The optimized tube and fin spacing maximizes surface area and promotes rapid heat rejection, ensuring the coolant maintains stable temperatures during sustained highway cruising or stop-and-go traffic. Its lightweight construction reduces front end mass, contributing to crisper steering response and improved handling balance. The corrosion-resistant nature of aluminum allows the core to withstand moisture, road salt, and chemical exposure without pitting or weakening. Rigorous quality checks at every production stage guarantee leak free performance and many seasons of reliable operation.
Flexible Finish Options for Protection and Style
Owners can select a classic bare aluminum surface or a black epoxy finish to suit restoration goals or daily driving demands. The plain aluminum finish develops a natural patina over time and can be easily refreshed with light polishing, preserving an authentic period look. In contrast, the epoxy coating provides a durable barrier against moisture, road chemicals, and engine vibration, reducing the risk of corrosion in harsh conditions. Both finishes are applied under controlled factory processes to ensure uniform thickness and adhesion, preventing flaking or peeling. This flexibility allows you to tailor the radiator's appearance and protection level to match your Impala build without sacrificing cooling efficiency.
