1973-1974 Nova and Ventura X-Body Radiator for LS and LT Swaps
Choosing an LS or LT powerplant for your 1973-1974 Chevy Nova or Pontiac Ventura means you need a cooling solution that fits tight engine bays and matches automatic transmission plumbing. This 1973-1974 Nova Radiator (AutoTrans) with Fan uses a slim single fan pack that clears accessories and draws minimal current while moving enough air to keep coolant temperatures stable. Crafted from aluminum resistant to corrosion, it installs directly on the GM X Body chassis with factory hose connections and mounting points for a precise, straightforward installation.
Optimized Single Fan Cooling
The slim single fan package is engineered to fit between engine accessories and frame rails while drawing significantly less current than dual fan systems. Its high performance blade profile moves ample air through the radiator core, maintaining stable coolant temperatures during extended city driving and spirited highway runs. By streamlining airflow with a single fan assembly, the design reduces electrical load and simplifies wiring without compromising on cooling capacity. This focus on efficiency ensures your LS or LT engine stays within the optimal temperature range under all conditions.
Lightweight Aluminum Core for Rapid Heat Rejection
Constructed entirely from high quality aluminum, the radiator core and tanks deliver exceptional thermal conductivity that allows coolant to shed heat the moment it reaches the fins. Aluminum's natural resistance to rust preserves structural integrity and extends service life in a variety of climates. The slim profile and reduced weight help lower the vehicle's overall mass, translating into improved throttle response and handling. These attributes combine to protect sensitive engine components from overheating during demanding driving sessions.
Coating Choices for Lasting Corrosion Protection
You can select a classic bare aluminum finish that highlights the natural metal grain or opt for a black epoxy coating that adds a barrier against oxidation and road debris. The epoxy layer not only enhances the radiator's appearance but also provides an extra shield where exposure to salt and water is highest. Both finishes are applied to precise factory tolerances, ensuring end tanks and seams remain leak free over many seasons of use. This flexibility lets you match your vehicle's style while keeping coolant passages in top condition.
Made in USA for Precise X Body Fitment
Manufactured in the USA to strict quality standards, this radiator arrives ready to bolt into your 1973 1974 Nova or Pontiac Ventura on the GM X Body chassis. Each unit is crafted with exact mounting points and factory style hose connections that align with the original transmission plumbing, eliminating the need for custom brackets or adapters. Careful local production oversight means every weld and seam meets rigorous inspection protocols for reliable performance. The result is a clean, professional installation that preserves the classic lines of your ride while providing modern cooling efficiency.
