62-67 Nova AT 16in Aluminum Radiator

The Cold Case Radiators 62-67 Nova AT 16in Aluminum Radiator is a purpose-built cooling solution for first-generation Chevy Nova models and other GM X-Body vehicles spanning 1962 to 1967. This all-aluminum radiator delivers efficient heat dissipation in compact street and performance applications where factory brass-and-copper cores struggle to manage modern traffic and prolonged idling. The polished aluminum construction resists corrosion while maintaining a clean engine bay aesthetic that appeals to restoration and custom build enthusiasts.

Measuring 26 inches wide by 26 inches tall with a 3-inch core depth, this radiator integrates driver-side inlet and passenger-side outlet plumbing for straightforward installation into original or modified cooling systems. The automatic transmission-compatible design accommodates integrated transmission cooler lines without additional fabrication. At 48 pounds, the aluminum core is significantly lighter than vintage cast-iron units while delivering superior cooling capacity—a practical consideration for vehicles subject to sustained highway operation or stop-and-go show use. The 16-inch fan mount accepts standard electric or mechanical cooling fans, giving builders flexibility in powertrain configuration.

This radiator suits enthusiasts restoring original-style Nova cooling systems, street rod builders seeking reliable aluminum cooling without oversized units, and performance builders running modified engines in classic X-Body platforms. The polished aluminum finish pairs well with engine compartments emphasizing original or period-correct aesthetics. Installation requires basic mechanical competency and attention to hose routing and fan clearance—no exotic fabrication skills needed. This is a verified OEM-fitment replacement for 62-67 Novas and compatible X-Body variants, significantly improving thermal management compared to aging factory radiators.
