LS and LT Radiator with Fans for Auto Trans 1959-1964 Chevy Impala
When fitting an LS or LT engine into a 1959-1964 Impala B-Body, maintaining stable coolant temperatures is critical and the 1959-1964 Impala Radiator (Auto Trans) with Fans is engineered to meet that exact need. It uses a full aluminum core paired with dual electric fans to ensure consistent airflow at idle or under load. The design drops directly into factory mounting points and includes integrated transmission cooler lines for a tidy engine bay without cutting or welding. Shipped with precision TIG-welded tanks and an optional black epoxy finish, this radiator balances corrosion resistance and classic looks.
Advanced TIG welded aluminum construction for lasting strength
Crafted in the USA from high quality aluminum, this radiator uses precision TIG welding to join the tanks and core into a single, robust assembly. TIG welded joints form a leak free seal that endures the pressure cycles and vibration typical of LS and LT engine applications. Aluminum's excellent thermal conductivity ensures heat moves rapidly from the coolant into the fins, accelerating overall heat rejection. The result is a lightweight design that resists fatigue and delivers reliable service whether you are on city streets or pushing the limits on the track.
Dual electric fans delivering consistent airflow
A pair of high capacity electric fans work together to pull ambient air through the core even at idle or in heavy traffic. By maintaining steady airflow across the full fin pack, these fans eliminate hotspots and guard against sudden temperature spikes during spirited driving. The molded shroud channels air exactly where it is needed, optimizing cooling efficiency under all conditions. This fan setup helps your Impala maintain stable coolant temperatures from stop light to open road.
Integrated transmission cooler lines for a clean installation
End tanks feature built in transmission cooler ports that link directly to your automatic transmission without the need for separate adapters or extra fittings. This integration simplifies the plumbing process, reduces leak points and preserves a tidy engine bay. Installation is straightforward – the radiator bolts into factory mounting points and uses the original hardware so no cutting or welding is required. The result is a seamless swap that retains the classic look of your 1959 to 1964 Impala.
Durable corrosion protection with bare or black epoxy finish
Choose between a polished bare aluminum finish or a tough black epoxy coating to match your build style and protection needs. The optional epoxy layer adds a barrier against moisture, road salt and debris, while the bare finish can be buffed periodically to renew its shine. Both treatments guard against oxidation and help maintain consistent heat transfer through the core. This attention to corrosion resistance ensures your cooling system stays efficient and attractive for years to come.
