1967-1969 F-Body Camaro/Firebird LS and LT Radiator with Fans
When swapping an LS or LT engine into a 1967 to 1969 Camaro or Firebird equipped with an automatic transmission you need cooling that handles both daily driving and track conditions. This radiator bolts into the original F-Body support brackets without welding and keeps the chassis unaltered. It features TIG welded aluminum tanks joined to a core built in the United States for corrosion resistance and reliable heat rejection during sustained loads. Prewired dual fans draw air through the full core and activate only when coolant temperatures exceed designated thresholds while the plug and play harness eases electrical connections.
Precision TIG Welding in Aluminum Radiator Construction
The radiator tanks and core are joined using TIG welding to create uniform wall thickness and flawless joints that resist coolant pressure over time. This welding method produces a clean bead profile that minimizes stress risers and potential leak points, while the all-aluminum construction delivers an ideal balance of strength and lightweight performance. High-grade aluminum also offers natural resistance to corrosion from road salts and common coolant additives, helping the radiator maintain fast heat rejection under repeated thermal cycles. Manufactured in the United States, each unit undergoes rigorous inspection protocols to ensure consistent weld quality and dependable durability.
Dual Electric Fans with Temperature Controlled Activation
Equipped with two high-capacity electric fans, this system draws air evenly across the full surface of the radiator core, maintaining stable coolant temperatures in traffic, highway cruising, or spirited runs. Each fan engages only when coolant temperature sensors signal the need for extra airflow, reducing parasitic drag on the engine accessory drive when cooling demand is low. This targeted activation prevents localized hot spots and helps preserve engine output under heavy load conditions. The prewired harness simplifies integration into LS and LT swap projects, providing clear plug-and-play connections that eliminate guesswork and reduce installation time.
Frame Compatible Design for 1967 to 1969 F Body Cars
This radiator is engineered to drop securely into factory support brackets on first-generation Camaro and Firebird frames without cutting, welding, or chassis modification. Precision-stamped mounting points match original equipment locations, ensuring consistent alignment with the grille opening and hood latch assembly. Universal hardware and a simple bracket kit complete the package, letting installers focus on wiring and plumbing rather than custom fabrication. By preserving the stock frame geometry, the system maintains factory ride and handling characteristics while offering modern cooling capability.
Bare Aluminum and Black Epoxy Coating Options
Customers can choose a classic bare aluminum finish that showcases raw metal texture or select a black epoxy coat for a uniform, protective layer. The epoxy coating adds abrasion resistance against road debris and forms a barrier against moisture and chemical attack. Both finishes sustain efficient heat transfer by preventing surface oxidation and maintaining clear airflow passages. This flexibility allows builders to match the radiator appearance to their restoration or custom theme without sacrificing performance or corrosion protection.
