1958 Chevy B-Body LS and LT Radiator for Impala Bel Air Delray
When you swap in an LS or LT engine under the hood of your 1958 Chevy B-Body, integrating a reliable cooling system is essential. The 1958 Impala Radiator (Auto Trans) is built to handle the higher heat output of modern V8 powerplants while maintaining optimal temperatures for automatic transmissions. Crafted with fully welded aluminum tanks and core, it resists corrosion and quickly sheds heat during spirited driving. Direct installation on Impala, Bel Air or Delray models keeps modifications to a minimum and gets you back on the road faster.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Construction
This radiator features 100% TIG welding on both tanks and core, creating smooth, consistent joints that resist leaks and stand up to engine vibration. By using high grade aluminum throughout, the assembly remains lightweight yet exceptionally strong, reducing front end weight without sacrificing durability. Each unit is made in the USA under strict quality controls, ensuring that every weld meets exacting standards for performance and longevity.
Advanced Thermal Management for Modern V8 Engines
The large aluminum core and fin design maximize surface area for rapid heat transfer, keeping coolant temperatures stable even under heavy load. Aluminum's superior conductivity draws heat away from the engine block more efficiently than traditional materials, preventing hotspots and reducing stress on head gaskets and seals. Drivers will notice steadier temperature readings during spirited driving or towing, which helps protect both engine and automatic transmission from overheating.
Direct Fit Design for 1958 Chevy B-Body Models
Engineered specifically for the 1958 Impala, Bel Air, and Delray with automatic transmission, this radiator installs without frame modifications or custom bracket work. Inlet and outlet ports align precisely with factory cooling lines, and mounting tabs match the original B-Body locations for a true bolt-in experience. This direct fit approach minimizes installation time and eliminates the need for hose adapters or pump relocation.
Custom Finish Options for Longevity and Style
Choose a polished bare aluminum exterior to showcase classic engine bay aesthetics or opt for a black epoxy coating to boost corrosion protection in varied climates. Both finishes guard the radiator against moisture and road debris, reducing the risk of pitting or oxidation over years of use. The epoxy layer also absorbs minor impacts, keeping the core looking sharp season after season.
