LS Swap Radiator for 1965-1970 Chevy Impala B-Body
When retrofitting an LS drivetrain into a 1965-1970 Chevy Impala the 1965-1970 Impala Radiator (Manual Trans) supplies consistent coolant circulation and precise fitment within the factory chassis. Its quality aluminum core and tanks resist corrosion while shedding heat more effectively than the stock unit under increased load. The design also includes power steering box clearance for a drop in installation with manual transmission layouts and steady engine temperature control.
Custom Fitment for Manual Transmission and Power Steering Clearance
This radiator is engineered specifically for the 1965-1970 Impala with a manual transmission, featuring an integrated notch that provides built-in clearance for the power steering box. By matching the original B-Body chassis contours, it drops straight in without any cutting or part relocation, preserving factory mount points and reducing installation time. The precise fit ensures that mounting brackets line up perfectly with the core support, so enthusiasts and professionals alike can complete the swap with confidence and minimal modifications.
Aluminum Construction with Enhanced Heat Rejection
Constructed from high quality aluminum for both core and tanks, this radiator offers superior thermal conductivity compared to stock units. Aluminum's natural resistance to corrosion extends service life, while its lightweight properties help reduce front-end mass for better handling. The full-width core design maximizes coolant flow and heat exchange, ensuring that an LS engine's higher output is kept within safe operating temperatures, even under heavy loads or track use.
Made in USA Craftsmanship for Lasting Performance
Built in the USA under strict quality control standards, each radiator benefits from local manufacturing expertise and thorough inspection protocols. This domestic production allows BRP Hot Rods to maintain tight tolerances, ensuring consistent fit and finish on every unit. The result is a durable cooling solution that not only boosts reliability during daily driving but also enhances resale value by demonstrating a commitment to American-made quality.
