Direct-Fit Radiator and Fan Assembly for 1961-1962 C1 Corvette

Engineered for effortless installation in 1961 and 1962 C1 Corvette manual transmission models, this aluminum radiator employs a slim one-fan configuration to clear engine accessories while drawing less amperage than twin systems. Built in the USA from lightweight, corrosion resistant aluminum, it delivers superior thermal efficiency with rapid heat rejection and reliable cooling performance tailored to your classic Corvette.

1961-1962 Chevy Corvette C1 Radiator with Fan for Manual Transmission

Restoring a 1961-1962 C1 Corvette manual transmission model often exposes the limits of the original cooling system under spirited driving. The 1961-1962 Corvette Radiator with Fan (Manual Trans) brings reliable heat rejection through its lightweight aluminum core and a powerful single 16-inch fan. Installation is straightforward on 1961-1962 Chevy Corvette models thanks to its direct fit design, requiring no modifications to the factory mounting points. This tailored solution helps keep engine temperatures in check whether you're cruising downtown or tackling winding roads.

Efficient Airflow from Single 16-Inch Fan

The radiator integrates a single 16-inch fan that delivers robust airflow while drawing significantly less amperage than twin setups. This slim one fan package clears accessory brackets and retains full engine bay clearance, making it ideal for spirited driving or street use. By concentrating airflow through the core, the design maintains consistent temperature control under load and at low vehicle speeds. The optimized fan speed profile also reduces electrical demand and noise.

Light and Durable Aluminum Construction

Crafted entirely from high quality aluminum, this radiator offers superior thermal conductivity for rapid heat rejection. Aluminum's natural corrosion resistance ensures the core remains free of rust over years of service, while its low mass contributes to improved weight distribution in the front end. The precision built tube and fin arrangement enhances strength and promotes efficient coolant flow. As a result, drivers experience more reliable cooling performance without adding unnecessary bulk.

Finish Options for Corrosion Resistance and Aesthetics

Buyers can choose between a classic bare aluminum surface or a resilient black epoxy finish, each applied in the USA for consistent coverage. The bare alloy option showcases the natural metal and develops unique patina over time, while the epoxy coating creates a barrier against moisture and road debris. Both treatments stand up to harsh conditions and require minimal maintenance. This flexibility allows owners to match the look of the radiator to the restoration theme or daily driver needs.

Seamless Fit for 1961 to 1962 Manual Transmission Models

This radiator is engineered for direct fitment on Corvette models from 1961 to 1962 equipped with a manual transmission. All mounting tabs and hose connections align precisely with factory locations, eliminating the need for custom brackets or alterations. Enthusiasts benefit from simplified installation that respects the original assembly process and preserves chassis integrity. Built locally in the USA, the unit delivers consistent fit and finish for a plug and play upgrade.
