Radiator for LS and LT Engine Swaps in 1967-1969 Camaro and Firebird
When retrofitting an LS or LT engine in your 1967-1969 Camaro or Firebird, maintaining consistent coolant temperature is critical and this direct fit aluminum radiator for automatic transmissions ensures both your powerplant and gearbox run cool. Crafted from TIG welded aluminum with a corrosion resistant finish, it excels at shedding heat under daily driving or spirited track sessions. Installation uses factory mounting points on the original chassis to secure proper firewall clearance and maintain alignment without custom brackets. Builders can drop this radiator into place on any Camaro or Firebird swap and count on reliable service over time.
Precision TIG Welding Ensures Leak Free Durability
Every joint on this radiator is completed with TIG welding, delivering exceptionally clean and precise seams that resist pressure cycles and thermal expansion. By welding both the tanks and core in the same process, unwanted stress points are eliminated, reducing the chance of leaks and fractures over time. Manufactured in the USA under rigorous quality controls, each unit benefits from consistent inspection and assembly standards. The result is a radiator that retains its shape and performance even under intense daily driving or track conditions, backed by high-quality craftsmanship.
Aluminum Core Offers Rapid Heat Transfer
The core is made from premium aluminum chosen for its superior thermal conductivity and light weight, enabling quick removal of heat from the coolant. This efficient heat rejection prevents engine and transmission temperatures from climbing during spirited runs or heavy loads. Aluminum's natural corrosion resistant properties also protect internal passages and preserve flow rates, keeping the cooling system functioning at peak capacity. Together, these characteristics ensure stable operating temperatures across a wide range of driving scenarios.
Direct Fit Design for 1967 to 1969 F Body Chassis
Specifically engineered to match the mounting points of 1967 to 1969 Camaro and Firebird frames, this radiator installs without the need for custom brackets or modifications. It aligns perfectly with the original core support and maintains proper firewall clearance, saving builders installation time and effort. Compatibility with both LS and LT engines paired to automatic transmissions ensures that powertrain angles and hose routes remain factory correct. Enthusiasts can rely on a seamless swap experience and immediate coolant flow upon installation.
Coating Options Blend Style with Protection
Choose a polished bare finish to highlight the classic aluminum look or opt for a black epoxy coating for a modern appearance and extra surface protection. The polished variant reflects radiant heat and offers an easy to maintain surface, while the epoxy version guards against road debris and environmental wear. Both finishes are applied uniformly to maintain cooling efficiency and prevent hot spots. These options allow builders to tailor the radiator's appearance without compromising its essential cooling performance.
