1967-1969 Camaro/Firebird F-Body Radiator for LS and LT Swaps
Swapping an LS or LT powerplant into a 1967 to 1969 Camaro or Firebird with an automatic transmission often stresses the original cooling hardware, and this radiator is engineered to maintain stable engine and gearbox temperatures under both daily commutes and track runs. It features a direct fit aluminum radiator core and tanks that secure to factory mounting points without custom brackets, preserving proper firewall clearance and hose alignment. Every joint is crafted with precision TIG welding and a corrosion resistant finish that withstands repeated pressure cycles and resists leaks over time. Enthusiasts benefit from a ready to install component for the F Body chassis that channels coolant efficiently through LS and LT engines paired to automatic transmissions, offering dependable performance mile after mile.
Precision TIG Welding Ensures Seal Reliability
Every joint on this radiator is completed with TIG welding to create smooth and uniform seams that resist repeated pressure cycles without developing leaks. By welding the tanks and core in one continuous process, stress points at joints are eliminated, helping the assembly retain its shape during wide swings in temperature. Manufactured in the USA under strict quality controls, each unit undergoes consistent inspection to verify seam integrity. Engine and transmission cooling remain dependable over thousands of miles of street driving or track use.
Aluminum Core Promotes Efficient Heat Dissipation
The high quality aluminum core offers exceptional thermal conductivity, allowing coolant to transfer heat away from both engine and automatic transmission at an accelerated rate. Its light weight reduces overall front end mass, preserving the vehicle's original balance and handling characteristics. Aluminum's natural resistance to corrosion keeps internal passages clear, ensuring consistent flow and preventing early clogging. As a result, operating temperatures stay stable under stop and go traffic as well as extended spirited runs.
Engineered Fit for Classic F Body Architecture
This radiator is tailored for Camaro and Firebird models built between 1967 and 1969, using factory mounting points to secure directly without custom brackets or frame modifications. It aligns precisely with the original core support and maintains proper firewall clearance, preserving hose routing for LS or LT engine swaps mated to an automatic transmission. Matching the chassis's stock geometry speeds installation and prevents interference with power steering lines or wiring looms. Installers gain a seamless fit that delivers immediate coolant flow and reduces project time.
Finish Options Enhance Corrosion Protection
Choose the polished bare finish to highlight the natural shine of aluminum or select a black epoxy coating for a guarded surface that deflects debris and moisture. The polished variant reflects radiant heat and wipes clean with minimal effort, while the epoxy option creates a durable barrier against oxidation and environmental wear. Both treatments undergo uniform application to maintain consistent cooling performance and avoid hot spots. This flexibility lets builders match the radiator's look to their restoration or custom vision without compromising function.
