LS Radiator with Fans for 1990-1996 Chevy Corvette Manual Transmission
When fitting an LS powerplant into a 1990 to 1996 Chevy Corvette with a manual transmission, this radiator with dual fans delivers the cooling capacity needed to maintain steady temperatures under hard acceleration. Its lightweight aluminum core accelerates heat rejection and helps prevent overheating whether on the road or at the strip. Designed specifically for the Y Body Corvette, the assembly installs without extensive modifications and aligns perfectly with LS swap plumbing. By combining efficient airflow with a direct fit layout, it keeps coolant moving and engines running reliably.
Dual Fans Deliver Consistent Airflow Under Load
Equipped with two electric fans mounted directly to the radiator, this assembly ensures constant airflow even when vehicle speed is low or stopped. Each fan is calibrated to engage based on coolant temperature, maintaining optimal engine operating range during spirited driving or heavy traffic. The twin-fan setup works in unison to push and pull air through the core, minimizing hot spots and reducing strain on the cooling system. As a result, you benefit from stable temperatures on track days without sacrificing daily driving comfort.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Core for Durability
The radiator's core and tanks are fabricated from high quality aluminum and joined using TIG welded construction for exceptional strength and leak resistance. This welding method produces clean, consistent seams that withstand the expansion and contraction caused by rapid temperature changes. Aluminum's natural ability to dissipate heat quickly helps reject engine heat more efficiently than traditional materials, while its light weight aids overall vehicle balance. Manufactured in the USA, each unit undergoes strict quality checks to guarantee reliable performance under demanding conditions.
Choice of Bare or Epoxy Coated Finish
Owners can select a classic bare aluminum look that offers inherent corrosion resistance through natural oxide formation or opt for a black epoxy coated finish for enhanced protection and visual impact. The epoxy layer provides an additional barrier against moisture, road salt, and chemical exposure, extending radiator life in harsh environments. Both finishes retain the core's thermal efficiency while allowing you to coordinate with your engine bay theme. This flexibility ensures your cooling upgrade is as resilient as it is stylish.
