1973-1977 A-Body LS Radiator for Chevelle, Monte Carlo, El Camino, Laguna

When installing an LS V8 into a 1973 to 1977 A Body Chevelle, Monte Carlo, El Camino or Laguna with a manual transmission the choice of radiator can make or break your swap project. This 1973 to 1977 A Body LS Radiator (Manual Trans) is engineered to manage the extra heat of a modern powerplant while fitting precisely in factory frame rails. Its fully TIG welded aluminum tanks and core deliver corrosion resistance and rapid heat rejection for consistent temperature control on city roads or open highway runs. Crafted in the USA with attention to fit and finish this radiator provides reliable cooling without the need for complex modifications.

Precision TIG Welded Tanks and Core

The radiator's 100% TIG welded construction ensures seamless joins between tanks and core, offering superior joint strength compared to conventional welding methods. TIG welding delivers deep penetration and precise control, which is critical for withstanding the vibration and heat cycles generated by an LS engine. This method virtually eliminates weld porosity, reducing the risk of coolant leaks under high pressure. By using TIG welding throughout, the radiator achieves consistent performance and reliability that classic car builds demand.

Premium Aluminum Construction for Rapid Heat Rejection

Crafted from premium aluminum, this radiator leverages the metal's exceptional thermal conductivity to dissipate engine heat quickly and efficiently. Aluminum's low density also contributes to a lighter front end, helping to maintain balanced weight distribution in the chassis. Its natural corrosion resistance means the core and tanks will resist rust and electrolysis over time, preserving coolant flow passages. The combination of lightweight design and fast heat rejection helps keep LS engines operating within ideal temperature ranges, even under sustained load.

Exact A-Body Fitment for Stress Free Installation

Engineered specifically for 1973-1977 A-Body vehicles with a manual transmission, the radiator drops into factory frame rails without modification. Precise tank and inlet placements align with stock shroud mounts and hose locations, eliminating the need for custom brackets or cutting. This direct fit approach not only saves time in the garage but also protects the vehicle's original sheet metal and firewall. As a result, installers can achieve a clean, professional finish that retains the car's classic appeal.

Finishing Options Combining Style and Protection

Choose between a classic bare aluminum look or a black epoxy finish to suit your build's aesthetic and environmental demands. The bare finish highlights the raw metal for a vintage appearance, while the epoxy coating adds a layer of protection against road salts, moisture, and debris. This protective layer enhances corrosion resistance and provides long-lasting durability in varied driving conditions. Both options are crafted in the USA, ensuring consistent quality and finish control.
