LS and LT Swap Radiator for 1970-1981 GM A-Body/F-Body and 1978-1988 G-Body
When fitting an LS or LT engine into a 1970-1981 Camaro or 1978-1988 G-Body, controlling engine bay temperatures is critical and this radiator with dual fans solves that challenge with ease. Its aluminum core and tanks deliver consistent heat rejection while the quiet electric fans maintain steady airflow at low speeds. Crafted for manual transmission swaps, the unit aligns with factory mounting points and hose connections for a straightforward installation. Whether you are tuning for daily driving or weekend track use, this design keeps engine temps in check under demanding conditions.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Core and Tanks
The 1970-1981 Camaro and 1978-1988 G Body radiator features a core and tank assembly joined with TIG welding, creating seamless bonds that resist fatigue and leaks under thermal cycling. TIG welded joints offer uniform penetration and minimal distortion, which translates to consistent performance even under the high heat loads typical of LS and LT swaps. This welding technique preserves the purity of the aluminum, ensuring full strength and exceptional durability. The result is a reliable heat exchanger that maintains integrity through daily driving and aggressive track sessions.
Dual Electric Fans Cooling LS and LT Engines
Two high flow electric fans are mounted directly to the radiator, providing steady airflow at low engine speeds and when vehicle velocity is reduced. This arrangement keeps engine bay temperatures stable whether you're navigating stop and go city driving or pushing hard on a twisty backroad. By splitting the cooling load across two motors, the system runs quieter and draws less current compared to a single large fan. Active fan control helps maintain peak performance and protects your swap engine from heat related stress under all conditions.
All Aluminum Construction for Rapid Heat Rejection
Constructed entirely from high quality aluminum, both core and tanks deliver an outstanding strength to weight ratio. Aluminum's superior thermal conductivity allows the radiator to shed heat quickly, keeping coolant temperature in check during extended highway runs or spirited outings. The lightweight design contributes to improved weight distribution and handling, especially important in a manual transmission setup. Additionally, aluminum's resistance to corrosion helps preserve cooling efficiency and extends service life.
Direct Fit for Classic Camaro and G Body Manual Transmission
This radiator is engineered to install without modifications, aligning precisely with factory mounting points and hose connections on 1970-1981 Camaro and 1978-1988 G Body vehicles equipped with a manual transmission. By eliminating the need for cutting or welding, the upgrade process is streamlined for both home mechanics and professional shops. The exact fit ensures proper clearance around the core support and inner fender walls, preserving the classic appearance of your ride while enhancing its cooling capabilities.
