Performance Radiator for Chevrolet Impala (1994-1996) 5.7L Automatic

High-Efficiency 3-Row Performance Radiator for 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala

Replaces brittle OEM plastic-tank radiators with an all-aluminum 3-row crossflow core to maximize thermal rejection on LT1-powered B-bodies.

The Stock Impala Cooling Deficiencies

Factory radiators on 1994-1996 B-body platforms rely on plastic end tanks crimped onto a thin single-row aluminum core. Over sustained thermal cycling, the composite tanks degrade, developing stress fractures near inlet and outlet ports. Furthermore, the stock core capacity struggles to manage heat dissipation during aggressive driving or continuous load, leading to elevated coolant temperatures and reduced transmission fluid cooling efficiency.

The Engineering Solution

Engineered for high-demand duty cycles, this performance radiator features a 100% TIG-welded all-aluminum construction eliminating crimped plastic failure points. The 3-row racing tube layout significantly expands fluid volume and surface contact area, accelerating heat transfer across the 30-1/2 in by 17 in core. Integrated heavy-duty transmission and engine oil coolers maintain optimal fluid viscosity under load, protecting vital drivetrain components.
