Product Details

The Frostbite FB257 is a high-performance aluminum radiator engineered to deliver superior cooling for demanding applications up to 1000+ horsepower. Featuring a robust 3-row core design with aircraft-quality aluminum construction, this radiator provides exceptional heat dissipation while reducing weight by up to 30% compared to traditional copper/brass radiators.

Key Features:

  • 3-row aluminum core with 16 fins per inch for maximum cooling surface area and efficiency
  • 100% TIG welded (brazed) seams for leak-proof durability and strength
  • Polished aluminum top and tanks for a premium show-quality appearance
  • Aircraft-grade aluminum core, fittings, and tanks for lightweight performance
  • Includes Frostbite high-performance 16 lb. radiator cap for optimal pressure rating
  • Billet aluminum filler neck for strength and corrosion resistance
  • OEM-style brass petcock drain valve for easy coolant service
  • Supports high horsepower builds and extreme cooling demands

This radiator combines race-proven cooling technology with show-car aesthetics, making it ideal for street rods, muscle cars, and custom builds that demand both performance and visual appeal. The increased fin density and aluminum construction ensure your engine stays cool under the most demanding conditions while shedding unnecessary weight.
