LS and LT Radiator for 1970-1981 Camaro and 1978-1988 G-Body Vehicles
If you're installing an LS or LT engine in a Camaro or G Body your cooling system becomes a critical factor and the 1970-1981 Camaro and 1978-1988 G body Radiator (Manual Trans) is built to address that challenge. It bolts into original frame locations on 1970-1981 Chevy Camaro and a broad range of 1978-1988 G Body vehicles allowing installation without cutting or drilling. With its full aluminum tank and core this radiator sheds heat rapidly and resists corrosion for reliable performance. Maintaining proper engine temperature protects internal components and keeps power delivery consistent on both street and track.
Precision TIG Welding with High Quality Aluminum Construction
The radiator features 100% TIG welded tanks and core crafted from high quality aluminum. TIG welding ensures clean, consistent seams that resist leaks under the intense vibration and heat cycles of LS and LT powerplants. Aluminum's excellent thermal conductivity accelerates heat transfer away from the engine, while its light weight helps reduce overall vehicle mass. Its natural resistance to rust and corrosion means the core maintains peak efficiency over years of use, even in demanding street and track conditions.
Direct Fit Installation for 1970-1981 Camaro and 1978-1988 G Body
This radiator is engineered to bolt into the factory frame locations on 1970-1981 Chevy Camaro and a wide range of 1978-1988 G Body vehicles without any cutting or drilling. Its precision alignment with original mounting points guarantees a snug fit for manual transmission setups, eliminating the need for custom brackets or adapter plates. By streamlining the installation process, enthusiasts save time and avoid fabrication headaches, letting them focus on performance tuning and road testing.
Custom Finish Choices for Corrosion Resistance and Style
Available in a classic bare aluminum finish or a black epoxy coating, this radiator offers both aesthetic flexibility and enhanced protection. The bare aluminum option showcases a bright, factory-style look while delivering optimal heat rejection. The black epoxy finish adds a robust barrier against moisture, road salt, and debris, safeguarding the core from premature corrosion. Both finishes preserve thermal performance, ensuring consistent engine temperatures in any environment.
