LS Radiator with Auto Transmission Cooler and Fans for 1977-1982 Chevy Corvette
Owners tackling an LS engine swap into a 1977-1982 Y-Body Corvette with an automatic transmission need reliable cooling under every condition. This radiator assembly with integrated transmission cooler and dual electric fans ensures steady coolant flow and precise temperature control during stop and go driving or track sessions. Connections for 4L60E and 4L80E transmissions drop right into place while mounting brackets line up with factory frame openings for a true plug in installation. TIG welded aluminum tanks and core resist corrosion and repeated heat cycles for lasting performance.
Precision Crafted for Effortless LS Radiator Installation
The radiator assembly features strategically located brackets that align with factory frame openings on 1977 to 1982 Corvettes, eliminating trimming or additional modifications. Integration points for the 4L60E and 4L80E auto transmission cooler hoses drop directly into place, simplifying plumbing tasks. This precise fit ensures a seamless installation experience that gets your LS swap project on the road faster, whether on city streets or at the track.
TIG Welded Aluminum Core Maximizes Heat Transfer
Every tank and joint is formed with 100 percent TIG welding on thick, high quality aluminum to create a unified structure that resists leaks and warping under repeated heat cycles. Aluminum's natural conductivity accelerates coolant heat rejection through the fin stack, helping maintain stable engine temperatures during stop and go traffic and hard load driving. The robust build also keeps weight to a minimum, enhancing overall power to weight ratio in performance applications.
Brushless Fans Deliver High-Performance Cooling
Two brushless fans mounted directly to the core draw air efficiently through the fins at low vehicle speed and under heavy load, preventing heat soak in congested traffic or spirited driving. Brushless motor design reduces noise and motor wear, ensuring consistent airflow over thousands of hours of operation. This dependable cooling system protects engine components and supports sustained performance on and off the track.
Coating Options for Sustained Corrosion Protection
Choose a classic bare aluminum finish to maximize raw heat transfer or select a black epoxy coating to shield the core and tanks from moisture, road salt, and surface corrosion. The epoxy layer bonds tightly to the aluminum substrate without impairing cooling efficiency, while the bare option highlights the natural alloy surface for easy inspection. Both finishes simplify maintenance and preserve the radiator's integrity in challenging environments.
