With its precise fitment and corrosion resistant finish this radiator supports both restoration projects and weekend road tests by maintaining optimal engine temperatures mile after mile.
Precision TIG Welding for Unmatched Strength
The 100 percent TIG welded construction bonds high quality aluminum tanks and core with precision to create a leak proof seal and superior rigidity. TIG welding ensures an evenly distributed bead along every joint, minimizing stress points under vibration and thermal cycling. Each weld is performed by skilled technicians in the USA for consistent quality and longevity. As a result, this radiator stands up to the demands of spirited driving and heavy load conditions without compromise.
Exact Fitment for 1955 to 1960 Manual Transmission Corvettes
Designed specifically for manual transmission models, this radiator drops directly into the factory mounting points without modifying brackets or adding adapters. This approach streamlines installation for enthusiasts and professionals alike, saving time and reducing the potential for fitment errors. It maintains proper alignment with the engine block and fan shroud to ensure reliable operation. Whether you are restoring an original example or installing modern engine conversions, this unit delivers a seamless fit every time.
Superior Cooling with Premium Aluminum Core
Constructed from premium aluminum, the core is optimized to reject heat rapidly and maintain stable engine temperatures even during extended high load runs. Aluminum's natural corrosion resistance and lightweight properties contribute to both vehicle performance and durability. The classic bare finish or black epoxy coating adds a layer of protection against environmental exposure without sacrificing thermal conductivity. This design keeps your Corvette running cool mile after mile in a variety of driving conditions.
