1982-1992 LS Radiator for F-Body Camaro/Firebird Automatic Transmission Swaps
When moving an LS motor into a 1982-1992 Camaro or Firebird with an automatic transmission, the factory cooling system often struggles to keep engine temperatures in check. The 1982-1992 F-Body LS Radiator (Automatic Trans) is built from premium aluminum and bolts directly to your factory mounting points for easy installation. Designed for use with 4L60E and 4L80E transmissions, it fits without modification on standard F-Body frames. With a corrosion resistant core and walls engineered for superior heat rejection, both road cruising and track runs remain worry free.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Core
This LS radiator features a fully TIG weld design that unites the tanks and core into a single, leak free assembly. TIG welding delivers clean, precise seams that resist fatigue and vibration under high thermal cycles, ensuring the radiator maintains its structural integrity even during demanding highway or track use. By using premium aluminum throughout, this core stays remarkably light while maximizing surface area for rapid heat transfer. The result is a sturdy cooling module that stands up to repeated temperature swings without distortion or failure.
Custom Finish Options for Long Lasting Protection
Choose between a classic bare alloy look or a sleek black epoxy coating to match your engine bay aesthetic. The bare finish exposes the bright metal for maximum radiant heat loss, while the epoxy layer adds a barrier against moisture and road debris, helping to fend off corrosion over time. Both finishes are applied in controlled conditions to ensure consistent thickness and adhesion. Whether you prefer the raw shine of aluminum or the low key appeal of a dark surface, each option is engineered to extend service life under varied driving environments.
Seamless Bolt In Fitment for Automatic Transmission Swaps
Specifically shaped for Camaro and Firebird models from 1982 to 1992, this radiator aligns perfectly with factory mounting points and the common 4L60E or 4L80E transmissions. There is no need for cutting or custom brackets-simply install using the supplied hardware and reconnect your hoses for a true bolt in solution. Built locally in the USA, it reflects rigorous fit and finish standards that reduce installation time and help maintain vehicle value. The end result is a cooling system upgrade that delivers consistent performance from the moment it is bolted into place.
