LS Radiator with Fans for 1982-1992 Camaro/Firebird
When dropping an LS powerplant into a 1982-1992 Camaro or Firebird mated to an automatic transmission, stock cooling systems often fall short under traffic or spirited driving. This 1982-1992 Camaro/Firebird Radiator (Auto Trans) with Fans is engineered to plug right into original mounting points and plumbing on second generation F Body frames. Aluminum tanks and a precision TIG welded core combine with dual electric fans to maintain consistent coolant temperatures across a wide range of conditions. As a result, installers get a worry free direct replacement solution for their LS swap.
Precision TIG Welding for Durability and Thermal Transfer
Each seam of this radiator is fused using TIG welding to join the aluminum core and tanks with meticulous heat control. This method creates seamless bonds that resist cracking under engine vibration and repeated heating cycles. The uninterrupted welds ensure efficient heat flow from coolant into the fins, maximizing thermal transfer. By combining structural integrity with superior conduction, the assembly remains leak free and maintains consistent cooling during both highway cruising and spirited track day excursions.
Dual Electric Cooling Fans for Efficient Temperature Control
This radiator comes equipped with two high output electric fans mounted to a custom shroud that spans the full core face. The dual fan configuration eliminates local hotspots by providing even airflow through every tube and fin row under all conditions. When traffic slows, the fans engage swiftly to stabilize coolant temperature and prevent heat soak. Under sustained heavy load, they sustain airflow volume for reliable heat rejection, helping preserve peak engine power and safeguarding components from thermal stress.
Aluminum Construction and Coating Options for Corrosion Resistance
Crafted entirely from high quality aluminum, the tanks and core deliver fast heat rejection while keeping weight to a minimum. Aluminum's inherent resistance to rust is enhanced by an optional black epoxy finish that blocks moisture and road debris, extending service life in harsh environments. The bare aluminum version develops a uniform patina that complements polished engine accessories. Both surface treatments are selected to maintain full thermal efficiency without impeding heat transfer.
Plug and Play Fitment for Second Generation F Body Installations
Engineered to bolt directly into 1982 through 1992 Camaro and Firebird frames, this radiator aligns precisely with factory hose connections, wiring harnesses, and mounting points. No adapter brackets or frame modifications are required, cutting installation time and reducing the chance of fitment errors. Manufactured in the USA to strict tolerances, each unit is inspected for weld integrity and airflow performance. The result is a straightforward, reliable cooling upgrade that integrates seamlessly into any LS engine transplant.
