1965-1970 Chevy Impala LS Radiator for Auto Trans
Fitting an LS engine into a 1965 to 1970 Chevy Impala with automatic transmission often creates a tight squeeze at the power steering box and factory B Body mounts, forcing many enthusiasts to modify sheet metal for clearance. This 1965 to 1970 Impala Radiator (Auto Trans) arrives with pre notched lower corners and exact frame rail dimensions so it drops in without any cutting relocating or fabricating extra brackets. Its full aluminum core uses optimized tube and fin spacing to move heat away from coolant rapidly under sustained torque and withstands road salt and moisture. Built in the USA to precise tolerances, it preserves the classic front end profile, reduces overall weight for improved handling, and lets you complete your swap with a clean appearance and consistent cooling performance.
Tailored Fit for LS Radiator in 1965 to 1970 Impala
To install an LS engine into a 1965 to 1970 Impala with automatic transmission, radiator clearance at the power steering box and factory B-Body mounts is crucial. This radiator arrives with notched lower corners that align precisely with the factory mounting rails, providing built in clearance without any cutting or part relocation. By matching the exact frame rail dimensions, it drops into place on original brackets and maintains the classic front end profile of the Impala. Manufactured in the USA to exact tolerances, the design ensures the radiator sits squarely and reduces installation time by eliminating complex modifications. The precise fit preserves sheet metal integrity and simplifies access for future service tasks. The result is a clean engine bay appearance that retains all original mounting points and factory alignment.
Optimized Aluminum Core for Stable Coolant Temperatures
This radiator features a full aluminum core fabricated from premium aluminum alloy that excels at conducting heat away from the coolant under heavy load. Its tube and fin architecture is optimized for maximum surface area and unrestricted flow, so it rejects heat quickly during sustained high torque operation. The lightweight construction reduces front end mass, which can translate to sharper steering response and better handling balance. Corrosion-resistant properties of aluminum guard against rust and degradation even in harsh road salt conditions. By maintaining stable coolant temperatures in stop-and-go traffic or highway cruising, the core supports engine longevity and consistent performance. Rigorous quality control in every production step ensures leak free integrity and reliable operation over many seasons.
Versatile Bare Aluminum and Epoxy Finishes for Corrosion Defense
Owners can choose between a classic bare aluminum surface or a black epoxy coating to suit restoration goals or daily driving demands. The bare finish provides an authentic period look that will develop a natural patina over time and can be refreshed with simple cleaning. In contrast, the epoxy finish creates a robust barrier against moisture, road chemicals and corrosion while withstanding repeated heat cycles and engine vibration. Both options are applied under controlled conditions to guarantee uniform coverage and adhesion, minimizing the risk of chipping or flaking. This versatility ensures your radiator remains an attractive focal point in the engine bay while delivering dependable cooling performance. Whether preserving vintage aesthetics or enhancing durability for modern use, the finish choices protect your investment.
