1967-1969 Camaro/Firebird F-Body LS and LT Radiator for Manual Transmission
The 1967-1969 Camaro/Firebird Radiator (Manual Trans) delivers focused cooling for LS or LT engine swaps in models fitted with a manual gearbox. Constructed from TIG welded aluminum, it resists corrosion while shedding heat rapidly during spirited driving. Its core and tank dimensions align perfectly with factory frame rails and mounting posts on these Camaro and Firebird classics, eliminating cutting or bracket fabrication. Inlet and outlet locations accommodate stock shifter routing for a direct-fit installation that preserves original engine bay geometry.
Optimized Cooling Flow for LS and LT Engine Swaps
The radiator's core tube layout and fin density have been engineered to handle the higher heat output of LS and LT powerplants. By directing coolant through a broad cross-sectional area, it accelerates heat rejection when engines are pushed hard on the road or the track. Rapid thermal transfer is critical to prevent temperature spikes that can erode performance or trigger detonation under load. Lightweight aluminum construction further improves response by reducing front end mass and maintaining precise temperature control. This balance of high volume flow and efficient heat dissipation keeps modern V8 swaps running at peak levels.
Tailored Fit for F Body Manual Transmission Models
Each radiator is designed to drop directly into the factory mounting posts used by 1967 through 1969 Camaro and Firebird manual trans applications. Core height and width match the original radiator footprint, eliminating grinding or metalwork on the frame rails. Inlet and outlet ports are positioned to clear stock shifter linkages and maintain the OEM cable routing. This plug-and-play approach preserves the engine bay layout and ensures a clean installation without spacer plates or custom brackets. The result is a straightforward upgrade that respects factory geometry and saves installation time.
Premium Aluminum Construction for Durability and Corrosion Resistance
This radiator is built from high quality aluminum alloy for its superior strength to weight ratio and inherent resistance to rust. Strong TIG welded seams produce a seamless seal that holds up under operating pressures and thermal cycling. 100 percent TIG welded seams eliminate weak spots and deliver a uniform joint that resists fatigue and leaks. The choice between a bare finish or black epoxy coating adds further protection against road salts and brake dust particles. Together, these features ensure long service intervals and reliable performance in even the harshest conditions.
