High-Flow Radiator for 1958 B-Body LS LT Swaps

Optimized for LS and LT swaps in 1958 Chevy Impala, Bel Air and Delray models, the 1958 Impala Radiator (Manual Trans) utilizes 100% TIG welded aluminum tanks and core to deliver fast heat rejection and enduring corrosion resistance. Built locally in the USA for precise fitment in your B Body conversion, it maximizes thermal efficiency, durability and resale value for a worry free upgrade.

LS and LT Swap Radiator for 1958 Chevy Impala Bel Air Delray

When dropping an LS or LT engine into a 1958 Chevy Impala with a manual transmission, preserving proper coolant flow is critical to prevent overheating under load. Engineered with a full aluminum core and TIG welded tanks the 1958 Impala Radiator (Manual Trans) combines corrosion resistance and lightweight durability to maintain stable operating temperatures. Mounting points match factory locations on Impala, Bel Air, and Delray frames so no welding or trimming is required for a precise fit. The efficient heat rejection of this radiator keeps coolant temperatures in check during spirited driving or towing scenarios.

Precision TIG Welding for Core Integrity

The radiator's tanks and core are assembled using TIG welding, a process that ensures deep penetration and uniform bead formation. This technique minimizes thermal distortion, creating a watertight seal that resists vibration and repeated heat cycles under load. By maintaining consistent weld quality across the aluminum surfaces, the assembly remains durable without adding unnecessary mass. The pure aluminum construction also aids in dissipating heat quickly from the engine coolant.

Superior Heat Rejection with All Aluminum Core

Equipped with an aluminum core, this radiator promotes rapid heat transfer from coolant to ambient air. The large fin and tube arrangement maximizes surface contact and airflow, allowing the system to handle the thermal demands of modern LS and LT powerplants. Aluminum's natural resistance to corrosion helps maintain peak performance over many seasons. The result is a consistent operating temperature that protects vital engine components during spirited acceleration or towing.

Direct Fit Mounting on 1958 Chevy B Body Frames

Engineered to align precisely with the factory mounting points of Impala, Bel Air and Delray frames, this radiator installation requires no cutting or reshaping. The drop in fitment simplifies the assembly process for enthusiasts and professional shops alike, cutting installation time. This non invasive approach preserves the structural integrity of the classic chassis. Made in the USA, each unit undergoes quality verification to ensure repeatable fit and finish.

Bare Aluminum and Black Epoxy Coating Choices

Builders can select the clean look of bare aluminum or opt for a black epoxy coating to complement their engine bay theme. The epoxy finish adds a layer of protection against moisture and surface damage without hindering the radiator's cooling capability. Even the untreated aluminum resists oxidation naturally, requiring minimal maintenance. Both finishes are applied under controlled conditions to guarantee even coverage and a consistent appearance.

For the same radiator but with fans, consider our 1958 Impala Radiator (Manual Transmission) with Fans. Trust MuscleRods for reliable solutions tailored to classic builds.
