Radiator Nova 73-74 Auto Trans Raw

The Radiator Nova 73-74 Auto Trans Raw is a direct-fit replacement cooling core engineered for 1973–1974 automatic transmission vehicles. Built by DeWitts Radiator—a trusted name in performance cooling systems—this unit addresses the thermal management demands of classic muscle cars and street rods that generate significant heat under load. Whether you're restoring a vintage Chevrolet, Pontiac, or Mopar, or upgrading cooling capacity on a modified engine, this raw aluminum construction provides the foundation for reliable long-distance driving and spirited performance without overheating.

Constructed from raw aluminum, the Radiator Nova 73-74 Auto Trans maximizes heat dissipation through efficient core design and direct OEM bolt-in fitment. The raw finish allows builders and restorers to polish, paint, or powder-coat the unit to match custom engine bay aesthetics while maintaining structural integrity. At 21 pounds and measuring 24 × 8.75 × 36.25 inches, it fits the original mounting points without modification. The automatic transmission configuration includes integrated transmission cooler passages, ensuring both engine and fluid temperatures remain within safe operating windows during highway cruising or track use.

This radiator is ideal for enthusiasts performing engine rebuilds, stroker builds, or fuel system upgrades on early-1970s vehicles where stock cooling no longer meets demand. Mechanics and builders appreciate the direct-fit design, which eliminates custom fabrication and reduces labor time during installation. Compatibility is confirmed for 1973–1974 models equipped with automatic transmissions; verify year and transmission type before ordering. The raw aluminum finish ships ready for finishing work, making it a versatile choice for show-quality restorations or high-performance street applications.
