The Radiator w/Fans 55-57 Chevy Auto Trans Black by DEWITTS RADIATOR is purpose-built for classic Chevrolet enthusiasts restoring or upgrading first-generation Tri-Five models with automatic transmissions. This integrated cooling assembly combines a high-efficiency radiator core with dual electric fans, eliminating the mechanical belt-driven fan setup common to stock 1955–1957 Chevy builds. Whether you're modernizing an aging cooling system or upgrading a restomod platform, this unit delivers reliable thermal management while freeing engine bay space and reducing parasitic drag.
DeWitts engineered this radiator with aluminum construction and optimized core density to handle sustained highway and cruising temperatures in classic vehicle duty cycles. The integrated dual-fan setup activates on demand, pulling maximum cooling capacity only when needed—a significant efficiency gain over constant-speed mechanical fans that waste horsepower and generate excess heat during idle or low-speed operation. The black finish provides a clean, modern appearance while resisting corrosion in engine bay environments. At 27 pounds, the assembly is lightweight enough for Chevy frame rails while delivering the thermal performance necessary for prolonged driving without boiling or vapor lock concerns.
Mechanics and hot rodders building automatic-transmission Chevrolets from 1955 to 1957 will find this radiator essential for modern reliability upgrades. The 27 x 8.5 x 33-inch dimensions fit within original radiator mounting points, simplifying installation on stock or modified frames without extensive fabrication. This unit suits drivers running period-correct engines updated with modern cooling control, carbureted or fuel-injected variants, and any build prioritizing dependable thermal performance. Installation requires basic mechanical skills and standard hand tools; consult your specific vehicle's engine bay layout and mounting provisions before purchase to confirm fitment with your transmission crossmember and fan shroud configuration.
