LS and LT swap radiator with fan for 1973-1974 Chevy Nova/Pontiac Ventura
Swapping an LS or LT powerplant into a Chevrolet Nova or Pontiac Ventura from 1973 through 1974 demands a radiator that clears tight engine bays and maintains stable coolant temperature under stress. Designed for the GM X Body chassis, this radiator uses a slim single fan package that moves ample air while drawing minimal current. Made from high grade aluminum, it stands up to corrosion and quickly sheds heat during prolonged runs. Whether you find yourself on city roads or at the drag strip, this engine swap radiator delivers reliable cooling without fitment headaches.
Single Fan Design Delivers Efficient Cooling
The slim one-fan setup draws minimal current yet pushes ample air through the core to keep LS and LT engines operating at ideal temperatures. By eliminating bulky twin-fan arrangements, this design clears engine-bay obstacles and reduces strain on the charging system. The result is consistent heat rejection during extended city driving or spirited track runs, helping to protect vital engine components from thermal stress. This balance of airflow and efficiency gives you confidence that overheating will remain a worry of the past.
Aluminum Construction Offers Durability and Fast Heat Dissipation
Constructed from high-grade aluminum, the radiator core and tanks deliver lightweight strength and superior thermal conductivity. Aluminum resists corrosion better than steel and transfers heat rapidly, allowing coolant to shed heat almost as soon as it reaches the fins. Choose between a polished bare finish for a classic look or a black epoxy finish that adds a barrier against oxidation and road debris. Both options ensure long-lasting performance without significant weight gain or maintenance headaches.
Precision Fit for 1973 1974 Chevrolet Nova and Pontiac Ventura
Engineered specifically for the GM X-Body platform, this radiator drops directly into 1973-1974 Nova and Ventura models without the need for custom brackets or frame modifications. Its mounting points and hose connections align perfectly with the factory transmission and engine placement, streamlining installation and reducing fabrication time. Clear instructions guide you through every bolt and hose, so you'll spend less time under the hood and more time on the road. The result is a neat, professional installation that maintains the classic lines of your ride.
