LS Swap Radiator for 1965-1970 Chevy Impala Auto Transmission
Dropping a modern LS engine into a 1965 to 1970 Impala with automatic transmission often leads to radiator clearance headaches around the power steering box. The 1965-1970 Impala Radiator (Auto Trans) arrives pre-notched at the lower corners for a straightforward installation that fits factory B-Body mounts without cutting or part relocation. Its aluminum core accelerates heat rejection to keep coolant temperatures in check under higher torque levels. Built in the USA to exact specifications, this unit preserves the classic Impala profile while resisting corrosion and ensuring long lasting performance.
Precision Fitment for Seamless LS Installations
Swapping an LS engine into a 1965 to 1970 Impala with an automatic transmission demands exact radiator placement to clear the power steering box and maintain the original mounting rails. This radiator arrives pre notched at the lower corners, providing built in clearance that eliminates cutting or part relocation. Manufactured in the USA to strict tolerances, it aligns perfectly with the B Body chassis for a straight forward drop in installation. The result is a clean fit that preserves the factory structure and minimizes assembly time.
Aluminum Core Delivering Rapid Heat Transfer
Crafted entirely from premium aluminum, this radiator core leverages the material’s high thermal conductivity to draw heat away from the engine quickly. The optimized tube and fin configuration ensures coolant flows freely while shedding heat under increased torque and horsepower loads. A reduced front end mass improves vehicle balance and supports smoother handling without sacrificing cooling capacity. Drivers will notice stable coolant temperatures during stop and go driving and sustained performance on long highway runs.
Finish Options for Enduring Protection and Style
Choose between a classic bare aluminum surface that ages with character or a black epoxy coating that provides a barrier against moisture, road chemicals and corrosion. Both finishes are applied under strict quality control to guarantee even coverage and strong adhesion that withstands vibration and heat cycles. The bare option delivers a period correct appearance that complements restoration projects, while the epoxy finish adds a modern accent and extra resilience for daily drivers.
