LS Radiator Upgrade for 1990-1996 Y-Body Corvette

Optimized for precise coolant flow in Y-Body Corvettes running LS engines, this radiator uses 100% TIG welded aluminum tanks and core to deliver fast heat rejection, superior thermal efficiency, and lasting durability. Built in the USA for a precise fit on manual transmission Corvettes from 1990 to 1996, it provides corrosion resistant performance, lightweight design, and local craftsmanship that preserves resale value.

1990-1996 Chevy Corvette LS Swap Radiator for Manual Transmission

Taming engine heat on a 1990 to 1996 Corvette fitted with an LS motor and manual transmission starts with choosing a radiator built for the challenge. Engineered in the USA from 100 percent TIG welded aluminum, the 1990-1996 Corvette Radiator (Manual Trans) aligns with factory Y Body mounts for a straightforward install. Its precision tube spacing and fin density manage coolant flow to deliver efficient heat rejection during spirited runs and protect engine components.

Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Construction

The radiator is crafted with 100% TIG welded aluminum tanks and core, creating seamless bonds that resist leaks and deformation under heat cycles. This welding method uses a focused heat arc to produce uniform bead profiles, resulting in joints that stand up to vibration and pressure without compromise. The all aluminum build also keeps weight down while delivering the strength needed for spirited driving conditions. Made in the USA, each unit is inspected to maintain weld consistency and ensure enduring reliability.

Enhanced Heat Rejection through Core Design

Engine cooling relies on precise tube spacing and fin density to maximize surface contact with coolant and air. This core layout promotes swift heat transfer away from the LS engine during intense runs or idling in traffic. By maintaining coolant temperatures within safe limits, critical components like gaskets and water pumps enjoy extended service life. The design balances flow rate with fin surface area to deliver consistent performance across a range of driving scenarios.

Plug and Play Fitment for 1990 1996 Corvette

Engineered to mate directly with factory Y Body mounts, this radiator offers a bolt in install without cutting or bracket mods. The fitment aligns with the original frame rails and support points, reducing installation time and complexity. Whether you are a DIY enthusiast or a professional installer, the direct match to factory dimensions eliminates guesswork and adjustment. This straightforward approach promotes accurate alignment of hoses and shrouds for optimal coolant flow and fan clearance.

Bare Aluminum and Epoxy Coatings for Corrosion Protection

Choose a polished bare aluminum finish to showcase the metal’s natural shine and reflect engine bay heat or opt for a black epoxy coat that adds a protective barrier against moisture and road chemicals. Both finishes undergo rigorous prep and curing to ensure even coverage and strong adhesion. The epoxy option delivers extra resistance to chipping and wear, while the bare metal surface can develop a light patina that resists rust. With either choice, you get a radiator that stands up to years of driving and retains visual appeal.
