1973-1977 A-Body LS Radiator with Fans for Automatic Transmissions
When transplanting an LS engine and automatic transmission into a 1973-1977 A-Body chassis, stock radiators often struggle with overheating in city traffic or on the highway. This radiator pairs a TIG welded aluminum core with dual electric fans to maintain consistent coolant flow and prevent hot spots. Installation requires no custom brackets or frame modifications thanks to precise alignment with factory mounting points on Chevelle, Monte Carlo, El Camino and other A-Body models.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Core
Every joint in this radiator is created through TIG welded construction, which fuses core tubes directly to header tanks without filler metal. This method produces a continuous bond that eliminates leak paths and stands up to repeated thermal cycling without stress fractures. The result is a reliable seal that maintains coolant integrity, protecting the LS engine and automatic transmission cooler lines from overheating. Built in the USA, each core undergoes strict quality checks to ensure consistent performance under demanding conditions.
Dual Electric Fans for Even Airflow
Equipped with two high speed electric fans, this radiator ensures uniform airflow across the entire core surface. During low speed driving or stop and go traffic, the fans activate based on coolant temperature, preventing hot spots that can sap engine power or overheat transmission components. The dual fan layout balances cooling efficiency with electrical draw, providing maximum airflow only when needed. Drivers will experience stable operating temperatures whether crawling through city streets or cruising on the highway.
Direct Fitment for 1973 to 1977 A Body Chassis
Designed specifically for 1973 to 1977 Chevy Chevelle, Monte Carlo, El Camino and other A Body models, this radiator drops into existing factory mounting points with no custom brackets or frame alterations. By preserving original chassis geometry and cooling line routing, installation time is reduced and potential alignment issues are avoided. This precision fit maintains handling characteristics and keeps your classic GM muscle car running as intended.
Coating Options for Lasting Corrosion Protection
Choose between a natural bare aluminum finish or a durable black epoxy coating to match your build and environment. The bare aluminum option highlights craftsmanship while offering inherent resistance to corrosion and easy inspection of welds. The black epoxy adds a thick protective layer against moisture, road debris and brake dust, extending service life in harsh conditions. Both finishes are applied before assembly, ensuring complete coverage of internal passages and external tanks.
