LS Radiator with Fans for 1982-1992 Chevy Camaro/Pontiac Firebird Manual Trans
For an LS engine swap into a 1982 to 1992 Camaro or Pontiac Firebird with a manual transmission, keeping coolant temperatures in check is essential and this radiator with dual electric fans delivers the airflow required for both street driving and track use. Engineered with a full aluminum core and matching tanks, it rejects heat rapidly under sustained load while resisting corrosion. Designed to bolt into the stock mounting points, it fits in the original engine bay without trimming and preserves clearance around accessory components.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Core
The radiator uses a fully TIG welded aluminum core and matching tanks to deliver unmatched joint integrity and heat transfer. TIG welding eliminates porosity and creates a seamless bond that withstands vibration and the stress of spirited driving. Aluminum's rapid thermal conductivity ensures coolant temperatures remain stable under sustained loads. This precise construction also enhances leak resistance, making the system reliable for both daily commutes and track sessions.
Dual Electric Fans for Consistent Airflow
Featuring two high performance electric fans, this radiator maintains strong airflow even at low vehicle speeds or in stop and go traffic. The fans activate based on coolant temperature signals, providing targeted cooling exactly when the engine needs it most. Mounted directly to the core, they preserve factory clearance around steering linkages and accessory drive components. This integration ensures your LS swap stays protected whether you're idling at a light or powering through a twisty back road.
Aluminum Construction with Coating Options
Constructed entirely from high quality aluminum, the radiator offers inherent resistance to corrosion and excels at shedding heat quickly. You can select a classic bare finish that showcases the metal's natural luster or choose a black epoxy coating for added surface protection and a custom look. Both finishes repel moisture and road debris, extending the component's service life. The lightweight design also reduces front end mass, improving handling balance.
Direct Fit Design for 1982 to 1992 F Body Chassis
Engineered specifically for 1982–1992 Camaro and Firebird models with manual transmissions, this radiator bolts into the original mounting points with no trimming or fabrication required. Core dimensions and inlet positions are tailored to clear steering linkages, hoses, and engine accessories, streamlining the swap process. Even those new to LS conversions can complete installation in a matter of hours. This precise fit preserves the factory engine bay layout while upgrading cooling capacity for modern powerplants.
