LS and LT Radiator with Dual Fans for 1970-1981 Camaro and 1978-1988 G-Body
For builders installing an LS or LT engine into a Camaro from 1970 to 1981 or a G-Body from 1978 to 1988 with an automatic transmission this radiator delivers consistent coolant control even under heavy traffic and spirited driving. It uses a thick aluminum core teamed with a matched pair of electric fans to draw air evenly across the entire core face at idle and maintained load. Precision TIG welding on the tanks and core secures leak resistance through repeated heat cycles while resisting warping. Installation aligns with original bracket points for 4L60E and 4L80E setups so no modifications to mounts or frame rails are required.
Advanced Aluminum Core and Protective Coating
The radiator's thick core and tanks are formed from high quality aluminum to leverage its excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight strength. This material choice allows rapid heat transfer from the coolant into the airflow, helping the engine stay within ideal temperature ranges during both street driving and track sessions. Builders can select a classic bare finish or a black epoxy coating that adds a corrosion barrier without blocking heat rejection. This coating option preserves the pure cooling properties of aluminum while providing extra protection against road debris and moisture over time.
Precision TIG Welding for Enhanced Structural Integrity
All seams in the core and side tanks are joined using precision TIG welding, a process renowned for creating consistent fusion with minimal filler material. Each weld forms a smooth, stress free bond that reduces the risk of leaks even under repeated thermal expansion and contraction. By maintaining joint integrity through hundreds of heat cycles, these welds ensure the radiator remains leak resistant and durable over many seasons of use. The result is a maintenance free cooling component that resists warping and fatigue under demanding engine loads.
Dual Electric Fans Deliver Uniform Airflow
Two high capacity electric fans are mounted to a matched shroud that directs air evenly across the entire core face, even at idle or in slow moving traffic. Operating independently of engine speed, the fans activate precisely when coolant temperature rises, preventing hot spots and sustaining stable coolant levels. Carefully designed fan blades and acoustic dampening features keep noise to a minimum while maximizing airflow efficiency. This dual fan arrangement guarantees consistent temperature control when driving in dense urban environments or during spirited highway runs.
Factory Style Bracket Fitment for Streamlined Installation
Engineered for an exact match with original bracket points on Camaro and G Body chassis, this radiator installs without any modification to mounts or frame rails for 4L60E and 4L80E automatic transmission applications. Coolant hoses follow the factory routing along the F Body frame, eliminating the need for custom adapters or hose extensions. This direct fit approach can reduce installation time to just a few hours, allowing builders to focus on tuning and finishing touches rather than fabrication work. Broad compatibility across 1970–1981 Camaro and 1978–1988 G Body models makes this a reliable drop in solution for LS and LT swaps.
