LS and LT Radiator with Fans for 1959-1964 Chevy Impala
The 1959-1964 Impala Radiator (Auto Trans) with Fans addresses the common clearance constraints encountered when fitting LS and LT powerplants into the B Body chassis of a 1959 through 1964 Chevy Impala. Designed for automatic transmissions, this precision radiator integrates dual electric fans and full TIG welded aluminum tanks and core to deliver reliable engine and transmission cooling. Offered with a bare aluminum or black epoxy finish, it resists corrosion and mounts directly on factory brackets using original cooler ports for tidy hose routing. Made in the USA, it ensures consistent airflow at idle and rapid heat rejection under load for both daily driving and spirited highway journeys.
Precision Cooling Tailored for 1959 to 1964 Impala Conversions
This radiator is engineered exclusively for 1959 to 1964 Impala frames equipped with automatic transmissions. It accommodates both LS and LT engine platforms without compromise, providing a direct fit where clearance and flow considerations are critical. Dual high performance fans installed at the core deliver consistent airflow at idle and freeway speeds, preventing overheating under city traffic or towing conditions. The fan assembly is calibrated to engage at preset temperatures, maintaining optimal engine heat balance and avoiding thermal fatigue. By focusing on the exact body contours and support structure of these classic GM models, this unit ensures a seamless interchange with the original support brackets.
Premium Fabrication and Materials for Lasting Reliability
Constructed from high grade aluminum in both tank and core, this radiator resists corrosion and handles repeated thermal cycles without fatigue. The entire assembly is 100% TIG welded, a technique that produces smooth, uniform joints and minimizes stress concentration points. Such precision welding enhances structural integrity while maintaining lightweight properties. Every weld undergoes thorough inspection to confirm leak free service. Sourcing and assembly occur in the USA under strict quality control protocols, so each component meets dimensional and performance benchmarks before leaving the factory.
Seamless Integration with MuscleRods Mounting Systems
The design aligns perfectly with MuscleRods engine mounts and bracket sets used in modern LS and LT conversion kits. This partnership ensures correct engine placement and drivetrain angles, avoiding undue strain on accessory drives and cooling passages. By matching the original frame geometry, installers can achieve a true bolt in installation. The lower and upper support bosses line up with stock bolt locations, eliminating the need for trimming or adapter plates. Whether replacing a worn original unit or completing a full restore, this radiator delivers precision alignment and consistent operation.
Built for LS and LT conversions, this radiator ensures consistent cooling and a precise fit in 1959 to 1964 Impalas. If you prefer the same radiator but without fans, consider our 1959-1964 Impala Radiator (Automatic Transmission).
