The Be Cool module assembly includes everything to complete the installation except for hoses and antifreeze. The new aluminum radiator helps cooling and weighs considerably less than the factory unit.

Be Cool is no newcomer to cooling heavy metal. For years it has provided cooling solutions for some of the most impressive high-performance engines to rumble down the streets and dragstrips of America. 

The folks at Be Cool understand that having the proper cooling components in any car or truck is vital to keep an engine safely within its operating temperature range. They also understand that to make cooling and installation easier, they had to design a full bolt-in system, a system that would fit hundreds of applications for classic cars and trucks, as well as more modern vehicles that also need cooling help.

What they’ve done is design the Be Cool module assemblies, created to offer a complete package without the worry of having to guess which parts fit and are compatible with other parts. The module assemblies include a beautiful natural or polished aluminum crossflow radiator, a high-torque European fan (or fans, depending on horsepower), aluminum fan mounting brackets, complete electric fan wiring harness, diamond-cut vented coolant recovery tank, billet Be Cool radiator cap and all the necessary hardware to complete the installation.

Each of the kits is designed to be a complete coolant solution, offering guaranteed temperature drops of 20 degrees or your money back! Hello, does that work for you?

Be Cool stands behind this guarantee because each kit is matched for peak efficiency. Depending upon your application and horsepower, the module assembly is available in ?  400-, 700- and 1,000-horsepower applications. The ’68 Chevrolet truck shown here is powered by a reliable, healthy Chevy small block that has always seemed to run a bit hot (in city traffic), and since high heat affects performance and causes extra wear on the engine internals, a new assembly from Be Cool might prove to be the perfect solution for this particular installation. This Chevy small block is backed by an automatic transmission; however, Be Cool offers these aluminum radiators with a built-in trans cooler, which is how this radiator was equipped.

When the owner purchased this classic truck the original radiator had been removed and replaced with a junkyard unit. The shroud was gone but the engine temperature ran okay, although it was marginal during the summer. With a little basic information and one call to Be Cool, about a week later the owner of this truck had a brand-new cooling system. Rather than to jump on the install, the owner wanted to do it correctly, so he gave the folks at LMC Truck a call for new, lower retainers and support pads, along with a set of original-style hoses. Once he began draining the antifreeze and removing the radiator the kit went right in, with no problems whatsoever. The wiring is straightforward and, thanks to the molded shroud and twin fans, the owner should never have to worry about running hot at blistering fairgrounds events, even while cruising. The complete installation took about three hours and required just a few simple hand tools.
