LS and LT Swap Radiator for 1955-1957 TriFive Chevy 150/210/Bel Air/Delray
Swapping an LS or LT engine into a 1955 to 1957 TriFive Chevy demands reliable cooling, and the 1955-1957 Chevy Radiator (Auto Trans) is designed to keep coolant temperatures stable on every drive. Engineered with a 100% TIG welded aluminum core and tanks, it sheds weight and resists corrosion compared to original units. Installation aligns with factory mounting points for Chevy 150, 210, Bel Air and Delray models, often requiring no extra modifications.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Core and Tanks
The radiator features a 100% TIG welded aluminum core and tanks that deliver exceptional joint strength and leak resistance. TIG welding creates precise fusion between aluminum surfaces, ensuring each weld can withstand the vibration and heat cycles of a powerful LS or LT engine. This method minimizes stress points, offering consistent coolant flow and reliable performance under demanding driving conditions.
High Conductivity Aluminum for Rapid Heat Rejection
Constructed from premium aluminum, the radiator maximizes thermal conductivity to quickly shed engine heat. Aluminum's low weight helps reduce front-end mass without compromising structural integrity, while its natural corrosion resistance enhances longevity in harsh environments. This combination of light weight and efficient heat transfer keeps coolant temperatures stable on both daily drives and spirited outings.
Coating Options for Style and Protection
Choose between a classic bare aluminum finish or a black epoxy coating that blends styling with robust surface protection. The bare aluminum variant highlights the core's polished texture, while the epoxy layer offers an extra barrier against chips and environmental exposure. Both finishes maintain heat rejection properties, ensuring the radiator remains an effective cooling solution and a visual upgrade.
Seamless Chassis Fit for 1955 to 1957 TriFive Models
Designed for 1955 to 1957 Chevy 150, 210, Bel Air, and Delray models with automatic transmissions, this radiator aligns with factory mounting points to simplify installation. Its direct fit eliminates custom brackets or alterations, making LS and LT engine swaps more straightforward. Enthusiasts appreciate the reduced install time and the preserved classic engine bay appearance that honors the TriFive legacy.
