LS Radiator with Auto Trans Cooler and Fans for 1990-1996 Chevy Corvette
When dropping an LS powerplant into a 1990-1996 Corvette, maintaining stable coolant temperatures under both street and track use is essential. This 1990-1996 Corvette Radiator (Auto Trans) with Fans features a full TIG welded aluminum core that matches the Y-Body chassis mounting points for a trouble-free installation. In heavy traffic or on the track, dual high-performance fans sustain consistent airflow while corrosion-resistant construction ensures reliable service mile after mile.
Precision Engineered Fit for Y-Body Chassis
This radiator is crafted to align exactly with the 1990-1996 Corvette Y-Body frame, preserving all factory mounting points for a direct installation. By matching the original geometry, it removes the guesswork normally associated with retrofit cooling systems and ensures that coolant hoses and fan shrouds seat correctly. The precise fit not only speeds up installation time but also maintains the structural integrity of the front end. Whether you are a professional installer or a home mechanic, you gain confidence knowing the radiator will drop into place without trimming or adjustment.
All Aluminum Core with TIG Welded Integrity
Constructed entirely from premium aluminum, the radiator core and tanks deliver exceptional heat transfer while keeping overall mass to a minimum. Aluminum's innate resistance to oxidation guards against corrosion, extending the service life even when exposed to road salt or moisture. Each seam is completed with TIG welded precision, producing uniform, contamination-free beads that resist leaks under high pressure and repeated thermal cycling. The result is a robust yet lightweight assembly built to withstand the rigors of both street driving and track use.
Dual Fan Airflow Management in Traffic and Track
Equipped with two high-capacity electric fans, this cooling system adapts to a range of driving conditions. At low speeds or in stop-and-go traffic, the fans engage to pull ambient air through the core, preventing heat soak in the engine bay. When pushed harder on winding roads or at the track, fan speed rises to rapidly shed excess heat and maintain optimal coolant temperatures. This dynamic airflow control ensures your LS engine operates safely and consistently, protecting performance and reducing the risk of overheating.
Custom Finish Options for Corrosion Protection
Choose between a natural bare aluminum surface that can be polished to a bright sheen or a black epoxy coating for added defense against environmental hazards. The uncoated aluminum version highlights the metal’s natural luster and can be buffed periodically to preserve its appearance. Alternatively, the epoxy layer provides a durable barrier against moisture, road chemicals, and airborne debris, preventing pitting and surface wear. Both finish options utilize proven application methods to ensure strong adhesion and lasting protection.
