LS and LT Radiator for 1967-1969 Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird
When upgrading a 1967-1969 Camaro or Firebird with an LS or LT and automatic transmission, keeping coolant temperatures under control is critical. This 1967-1969 Camaro/Firebird Radiator (Auto Trans) is engineered to fit the original F Body core support, offering a direct fit aluminum core that maintains firewall clearance and aligns with transmission plumbing without any bracket modifications. Assembled with 100% TIG welding and pressure tested in the USA, it ensures leak free operation and consistent thermal management whether you choose a bare aluminum finish or a protective black epoxy coat.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Assembly
The radiator is crafted using TIG welding to join high quality aluminum tanks and core in a single process. This technique produces continuous, uniform seams that withstand repeated heat cycles and vibration without failure. Each assembly is built in the USA and pressure tested to guarantee leak free operation before it leaves the factory. The absence of spot welds means there are no weak points that can open under pressure, ensuring the radiator remains robust over years of service.
Direct Fit Alignment for 1967 to 1969 Camaro and Firebird
This design preserves the original core support layout, eliminating the need for custom brackets or frame alterations. Hose outlets are positioned to align precisely with LS and LT transmission plumbing, maintaining firewall clearance and proper steering line routing. Installers benefit from a plug and play approach that reduces fitment headaches and cuts labor time. With the radiator sitting exactly where the factory unit did, builders can focus on other aspects of the swap without worrying about space conflicts.
High Conductivity Aluminum Core for Temperature Control
At the heart of the radiator is a full aluminum core made up of flat tubes and multi louver fins engineered for rapid heat rejection. Aluminum's natural conductivity moves heat from coolant to air with minimal loss, keeping engine and transmission temperatures stable during heavy load or spirited driving. The lightweight construction also helps maintain the original chassis balance and handling characteristics of the F Body. Over time, aluminum resists rust and scale buildup, preserving flow efficiency and performance.
Durable Bare Aluminum and Epoxy Finish Options
Builders can choose a polished bare aluminum finish to reflect radiant heat away from the engine bay or select a black epoxy coating that stands up to moisture and road debris. Both treatments are applied uniformly to avoid creating hot spots and to ensure consistent cooling performance. The epoxy layer forms a tough barrier against corrosion while still allowing the core to dissipate heat effectively. This flexibility lets owners match the radiator look to their build without compromising on function.
