LS LT Compatible Radiator for 1970-81 Camaro and 1978-88 G-Body

100 percent TIG welded aluminum tanks and core form the backbone of this radiator, ensuring superior thermal efficiency and rapid heat rejection for LS and LT powerplants in 1970 to 1981 Camaro and 1978 to 1988 G Body vehicles. Made locally in the USA with a corrosion-resistant, lightweight design, it delivers precise fitment, enduring durability, and enhanced resale value.

LS and LT Radiator for 1970-1981 Camaro and 1978-1988 G-Body Vehicles

This radiator is designed to maintain optimal coolant temperature when swapping an LS or LT powerplant into a 1970-1981 Camaro or 1978-1988 G-body platform. Its 100% TIG-welded aluminum core and tanks resist corrosion while providing fast heat rejection for demanding driving conditions. Installation takes advantage of the stock frame and upper radiator mounts, and it meets the needs of automatic transmission setups including 4L60E and 4L80E applications without additional modifications. Fitment across popular Chevy and GM models streamlines the installation process and ensures reliable operation with modern performance engines.

Precision TIG Welding Ensuring Core Integrity

The radiator core and tanks are joined by TIG welding, a method that creates uniform beads to resist thermal cycling and stress cracks. These leak proof joints maintain coolant pressure even under demanding driving, delivering consistent performance over time. Using high quality aluminum enhances thermal conduction through the weld area, supporting rapid heat transfer away from the engine. This manufacturing approach also meets exacting US standards for strength and longevity.

Finish Options for Lasting Corrosion Protection

Choose from a bare aluminum surface that naturally resists moisture or a black epoxy finish for added protection against salt and road grime. The epoxy layer seals microscopic pores in the metal to halt oxidation before it can begin. In bare form, the core can be polished to restore a classic shine, while the coated version demands minimal upkeep. Both treatments are applied in the USA under controlled conditions to ensure even coverage and reliable performance.

Optimized Cooling for LS and LT Engine Integration

Engineered to support the heat output of modern LS and LT V8 powerplants, the tube and fin arrangement maximizes contact area for efficient heat rejection. The unit installs using existing frame rails and upper mounts on classic Camaro and G body models, eliminating the need for custom fabrication. Engine coolant follows a precise flow path that maintains ideal operating temperature, even when paired with automatic transmissions like the 4L60E or 4L80E. This design promotes engine longevity and delivers stable performance on both street and track environments.

This radiator offers precise fitment and reliable cooling for classic Camaros and G bodies. For the same radiator but with fans see our 1970-1981 Camaro and 1978-1988 G body Radiator (Automatic Transmission) with Fans.
