1982-1992 LS Radiator with Fans for F-Body Camaro/Firebird
Swapping in an LS powerplant often overwhelms the factory cooling system, so the 1982-1992 Camaro/Firebird Radiator (Auto Trans) with Fans is engineered to keep temperature in check under hard use. Built from high grade aluminum and paired with dual electric fans, it pushes airflow through the cores even in gridlock or on the track. Installation aligns with 1982-1992 Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird automatic transmission mounts for a snug fit without additional modification.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Core and Tanks
The radiator's core and tanks are fabricated from high quality aluminum and joined using TIG welding to create robust, leak free seams. This welding method delivers uniform heat input around each joint, eliminating stress concentrations and reducing the chance of cracks under engine vibration. Aluminum's excellent thermal conductivity moves heat quickly from coolant to fins, while its light weight helps keep front end mass down. Its inherent resistance to corrosion ensures the assembly retains peak cooling capacity over years of hard use.
Dual Fans Tailored for LS Engine Heat Management
Featuring two electric fans mounted flush against the radiator face, this design boosts air movement at idle and in slow moving traffic to prevent hotspots. The fan shroud directs airflow evenly across the entire core, keeping coolant temperatures stable for your LS powerplant. Under track conditions the fans engage rapidly and maintain high volume flow to aid fast heat rejection when the engine is under peak load. The result is consistent thermal control whether you're in a traffic jam or pushing hard on the circuit.
Finish Selections for Protection and Visual Impact
Pick either an uncoated bare aluminum finish that develops a subtle patina with age or a black epoxy coat that offers a uniform protective layer. Both options shield the core and tanks from moisture, road salts, and debris to slow corrosion and preserve fin integrity. The bare finish highlights the raw metal and pairs with polished engine dress up components, while the black epoxy gives a modern blackout look. In either case you gain effective rust resistance without compromising cooling efficiency.
Made in USA Craftsmanship for Exact Fit and Reliability
Manufactured domestically to strict tolerances, each radiator and fan assembly snaps into place on 1982-1992 Camaro and Firebird frames with automatic transmission mounts. Local production ensures every unit undergoes thorough inspection for weld integrity and airflow performance before shipping. This meticulous process delivers a precise fit without modification and instills confidence that components meet rigorous quality criteria. The result is a dependable cooling solution built to support years of spirited driving.
