LS Radiator with Fans for 1982-1992 Camaro and Firebird (Auto Trans)
Installing an LS engine with an automatic transmission in a 1982 to 1992 Camaro or Firebird often exposes the stock cooling system's limits, and the 1982-1992 Camaro/Firebird Radiator (Auto Trans) with Fans delivers the solution. Constructed in the USA from 100% TIG welded high grade aluminum core and tanks, this assembly mounts directly to the F-Body chassis, aligning with factory hose and bracket locations. Two high airflow fans ensure consistent coolant circulation in stop and go traffic or spirited driving, while the optional bare or black epoxy finish resists corrosion and sheds weight for a durable service life.
Design and Construction
The 1982 to 1992 Camaro/Firebird radiator for automatic transmission and LS powerplants is built entirely from premium aluminum for superior corrosion resistance and weight savings. Our assembly combines a thick tube and fin core with reinforced side tanks to withstand high coolant pressures under heavy load. Every joint is TIG welded to create a durable seal that will not fail under repeated thermal cycling. Manufactured in the United States with the same industry procedures trusted by professional race teams, this radiator delivers consistent performance and long service life in street and track applications.
Thermal Management
Equipped with dual high performance fans, this cooling system maintains optimal engine and transmission temperatures without compromise. Fan speeds are controlled by a temperature sensor to provide maximum air flow when it is needed most, then throttle back under light load to reduce electrical draw. The closely spaced fins and large core volume allow rapid heat transfer and efficient dissipation even under stop and go traffic. For LS swap installations that generate higher thermal loads, this system prevents heat soak and protects internal components from overheating.
Mounting and Compatibility
Specifically engineered for the 1982–1992 Camaro and Firebird with automatic transmissions, this radiator installs directly using existing frame support and upper brackets. It is fully compatible with MuscleRods mounts, ensuring proper engine placement and precise drivetrain angles without the need for custom fabrication. Factory hose connections and mounting points align perfectly with original lines to guarantee a straightforward bolt in process. Whether you are upgrading a classic or building a modern hot rod, this unit offers a reliable fit and secure operation from day one.
Trust this radiator to deliver consistent thermal control in your LS swap project. For the same radiator but without fans, consider our 1982-1992 F-Body LS Radiator (Automatic Transmission).
