1959-1964 Chevy Impala LS and LT Radiator for Manual Trans with Fans
An LS or LT engine swap in a 1959-1964 Chevy Impala places extra demand on the cooling system, and the 1959-1964 Impala Radiator (Manual Trans) with Fans is designed to maintain steady temperatures whether you're cruising at highway speeds or idling in city traffic. Equipped with dual high-performance fans, TIG-welded aluminum tanks, and a tightly packed core, it manages heat rejection with efficiency and reliability. Its direct fit for the classic Impala chassis ensures LS and LT compatibility without the need for custom fabrication or welding.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Core and Tanks
The 1959-1964 Impala Radiator uses 100 percent TIG welded seams to join its high-grade aluminum tanks and core, creating exceptionally strong and leak-proof connections. This welding method ensures uniform penetration and material fusion, so each joint resists the pressures and thermal expansion cycles generated by modern LS and LT powerplants. By eliminating weak points common in other fabrication processes, the radiator maintains structural integrity even under sustained high load, delivering consistent cooling performance over many seasons.
Optimized Dual Fan Airflow Management
Equipped with two electric fans installed directly on the core, this cooling system provides active air movement at all engine speeds. The fans draw ambient air through the tightly packed aluminum core, preventing hot spots during stop and go traffic and ensuring efficient heat rejection at highway and track pace. Fan shrouds channel airflow uniformly across the entire core surface, balancing cooling across all rows of tubes and fins to keep coolant temperatures steady in every driving condition.
American Made Build and Impala Specific Fitment
Built in the USA, this radiator reflects rigorous quality controls and locally sourced materials that guarantee durable performance. Its dimensions, mounting ears, and hose connections are calibrated to the 1959-1964 Chevy Impala manual transmission layout, eliminating the need for custom fabrication or welding. The precise fitment streamlines installation, reduces alignment issues, and restores correct coolant flow paths in the stock engine bay.
Protective Coatings for Longevity and Style
Offered in a classic bare aluminum finish or a robust black epoxy coat, the radiator's surface treatment serves both aesthetic and functional roles. The raw aluminum option provides an authentic vintage look and develops a unique patina over time, while the epoxy layer shields against moisture, oils, and road-born contaminants. Each coating is applied under strict conditions to ensure uniform coverage and strong adhesion, extending the life of the radiator in harsh driving environments.
