Pin-Mount LS Swap Radiator with Fan for 1963-1972 Chevy Corvette
When you drop an LS engine into a 1963 to 1972 Y body Corvette with an automatic transmission you need a cooling setup that sidles into tight spaces and holds coolant temperatures steady. This pin mount radiator with an integrated fan fits directly between the frame rails and pairs lightweight aluminum construction with a single 16 inch electric fan to move ample airflow while drawing minimal current. Installation stays simple with direct bolt in fitment for most LS swap transmissions including 4L60E and 4L80E.
Precision Pin Mount Design for LS Swaps
Engineered specifically for the 1963 to 1972 Corvette Y body with automatic transmission, the pin mount layout secures the radiator between the frame rails for optimal placement. This approach preserves vital clearance around accessories such as air conditioning compressors and power steering pumps, making it ideal for the narrow space of an LS engine conversion. The direct bolt on fitment for 4L60E and 4L80E transmissions eliminates guesswork during installation and reduces time in the garage. Even those with basic mechanical skills can achieve a professional setup using standard tools and factory mounting points.
Lightweight Aluminum Construction Balancing Strength and Cooling
Crafted from premium grade aluminum, this radiator combines a durable core with a slim profile to promote rapid heat transfer while resisting corrosion in harsh conditions. The natural thermal conductivity of aluminum ensures coolant sheds excess heat quickly, supporting stable temperature control under demanding driving. Despite its robust build, the unit remains light enough to maintain agile handling and response in classic Corvette chassis. Sourcing and assembly in the USA guarantees consistent material quality and precision welds for years of dependable service.
Single 16 Inch Fan for Balanced Airflow and Efficiency
Equipped with one 16 inch electric fan, the design strikes a careful balance between airflow and power consumption to move ample air through the core without taxing the electrical system. By favoring a single fan unit over dual arrangements, this setup requires less amperage draw, relieving stress on gauges and wiring while still achieving confident cooling at low speeds or idling traffic. The fan mounting is integrated directly to the radiator frame, eliminating the need for separate shrouds or brackets. This configuration simplifies wiring and ensures consistent performance across a wide range of engine loads.
Bare Aluminum or Black Epoxy Finish for Enhanced Durability
Choose between a classic bare aluminum finish or a black epoxy coating to complement your Corvette restoration or custom paint scheme. The bare surface highlights the raw texture of the alloy while offering natural resistance to rust, whereas the epoxy option adds an extra barrier against road debris and environmental contaminants. Both finish choices maintain core performance characteristics and can withstand repeated thermal cycling without peeling or flaking. This level of finish versatility allows enthusiasts to match aesthetics without compromising on cooling capacity or longevity.
