Aluminum Core Radiator with Fan for 1973-74 Nova, Ventura LS LT Swaps

Achieve confident cooling in your 1973 to 1974 Nova or Ventura LS LT swap with a precision machined aluminum radiator core and integrated single fan that clears factory accessories and draws less amperage than twin systems. Engineered for manual transmission X Body installations, this Made in the USA solution delivers superior thermal efficiency, corrosion resistant durability and fast heat rejection through a direct fit assembly that cuts installation time.

LS and LT Radiator with Fan for Manual Trans 1973-1974 Chevy Nova and Pontiac Ventura

Installing an LS or LT powerplant in a 1973 to 1974 Chevy Nova or Pontiac Ventura calls for reliable thermal management and the 1973-1974 Nova Radiator (Manual Trans) with Fan answers that need without any trimming of the original structure. Equipped with a dense aluminum core and a single high output fan the assembly drops straight into the stock X Body support then aligns with factory hose locations for a true plug and play fit. It clears power steering pumps alternators and air conditioning components while drawing less amperage than dual fan setups for steady airflow at idle. Crafted in the USA this radiator resists corrosion under frequent temperature cycling and delivers fast heat rejection under spirited driving.

Dense Aluminum Core for Efficient Thermal Management

The radiator's core is formed from tightly spaced aluminum fins that handle the elevated coolant flow of LS and LT engines. Aluminum's natural ability to conduct heat allows rapid temperature drop under heavy loads while its low mass eases stress on the vintage X-Body support. Precision brazed joints and reinforced tanks ensure consistent performance through repeated heating cycles without leaks. Assembled in the USA, this core meets strict quality standards for reliable cooling during long runs or spirited street use.

Single Fan Design for Energy Efficient Airflow

A single high output fan moves sufficient air to cool the more demanding LS and LT swap while drawing less amperage than twin arrangements. This approach preserves battery life and keeps classic wiring systems safe from overload. The fan's slender profile clears common accessories such as power steering pumps and alternators without modification. Simplified wiring and reduced clutter also make routine maintenance and troubleshooting faster and more intuitive.

Plug and Play Fitment with Original X-Body Support

This radiator assembly drops directly into the factory X-Body core support without any trimming or drilling. Outlet locations and mounting holes match the stock layout to maintain compatibility with original cooling lines and brackets. Installers save time by avoiding alterations to the frame or hoses and can rely on precise alignment that mirrors factory specifications. Retaining the stock infrastructure also helps preserve the vehicle's historic value and underhood appearance.

Coating Choices Balancing Look and Longevity

Owners can select a raw aluminum finish for a classic underhood style or choose a durable black epoxy covering for extra protection against moisture and road contaminants. Both finish options resist surface corrosion over time while preserving the core's ability to reject heat. The black epoxy adds a uniform appearance that complements modern engine bays and shields the metal from pitting. Each unit is coated locally to ensure consistent coverage and adherence before final assembly.
