LS Radiator for 1965-1970 Chevy Impala B-Body with Automatic Transmission
Addressing the exacting requirements of an LS swap into a 1965 to 1970 Chevy Impala B Body with automatic transmission, the 1965 to 1970 Impala Radiator (Auto Trans) provides pre notched lower corners to ensure precise alignment with the original frame rails and power steering box. Crafted from high quality aluminum in the USA, this radiator delivers consistent heat rejection and corrosion resistance. Available in bare aluminum or black epoxy coating, it drops into the factory mounting system without sheet metal modification, maintaining a classic front profile while simplifying service access and preserving chassis integrity.
Application Specific Design
The 1965 to 1970 Impala Radiator for automatic transmission is engineered exclusively for LS engine swaps in Impala chassis. It retains original mounting points while offering enhanced cooling capacity to support the higher output of an LS motor. Precision notches around the power steering box ensure full travel of the steering gear without interference. Inlet and outlet ports are positioned to match factory hoses, eliminating the need for custom plumbing or modifications.
Construction Material and Quality
This radiator is constructed of premium aluminum for a balance of durability and weight savings. The core and tanks are resistance welded to create a leak-proof assembly that handles the pressures of modern cooling systems. Aluminum's natural corrosion resistance extends service life and maintains performance over years of operation. Proudly made in the USA, each unit undergoes rigorous inspection to meet exacting standards for metal integrity and finish.
Cooling Performance and Feature Highlights
Featuring a high flow core with dense fin spacing, this radiator maximizes coolant circulation and air flow to dissipate heat efficiently under heavy loads or spirited driving. The design maintains full core volume despite the steering box cutout, preventing hot spots around the steering assembly. Integrated mounting tabs and upper support brackets align with factory frame rails, reducing installation time and ensuring consistent placement.
Seamless Integration with MuscleRods
Designed to work in concert with MuscleRods engine mounts and crossmember kits, this radiator supports precise engine placement and correct drive line angles for LS swap projects. Using the same reference points as MuscleRods hardware, it installs cleanly without trimming or fabrication. This compatibility ensures a straightforward bolt-in process, enhances chassis alignment, and delivers reliable cooling performance from day one.
