LS and LT Radiator for 1967-1969 F-Body Camaro/Firebird
Installing an LS or LT engine with a manual gearbox in a 1967 to 1969 F-Body Camaro or Firebird often overwhelms the original cooling system, and this 1967-1969 Camaro/Firebird Radiator (Manual Trans) with Fans holds coolant temperatures steady. It uses dual electric fans controlled by coolant sensors to maintain airflow at idle or under load and prevent heat soak in stop and go traffic or highway runs. The core and end tanks are aluminum and fully TIG welded for leak resistance and corrosion protection through repeated thermal cycles. Bracket tabs and inlet outlets match factory frame rails and hose connections, eliminating custom supports or adapters, and this direct drop in solution keeps LS and LT powerplants within safe temperature ranges cruising city streets or pushing hard on the track.
Dual Electric Fans Deliver Stable Temperature Control
This radiator integrates two high-performance electric fans that respond directly to coolant temperature signals, activating when heat levels rise and scaling back as conditions cool. By dividing airflow between dual units, it avoids the concentrated hot spots common to single-fan setups and maintains uniform passage across the entire core. Fan speed modulation allows quiet idling in traffic and aggressive airflow under load, ensuring consistent coolant temperatures whether you are crawling downtown or pushing the limits on the highway. This balance protects LS and LT powerplants from heat soak and preserves peak performance under any driving scenario.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Core Ensures Durability
The core and end tanks feature TIG welded construction, a technique prized for its deep penetration and consistent bead profile. This approach creates joints with exceptional resistance to vibration and repeated heating cycles, virtually eliminating leaks over time. Constructed from high-quality aluminum, the core offers rapid heat transfer away from the coolant, while its innate corrosion resistance helps keep internal channels clear of deposits. The result is a radiator that maintains its structural integrity and thermal efficiency even under sustained stress.
Exact Fit Mounting Simplifies LS and LT Installation
Bracket tabs and inlet outlets are precisely located to match factory frame rails and hose connections in 1967 to 1969 Camaro and Firebird models with manual transmissions. This exacting alignment removes the need for custom supports, adapter hoses, or modifications to the battery tray, resulting in a true direct drop in fit. Installers benefit from reduced labor time and lower complexity, and builders appreciate the clean engine bay appearance that preserves factory aesthetics. This straightforward install process lets you focus on tuning and driving rather than fabrication.
Coating Options Optimize Protection and Appearance
Choose between a natural bare aluminum finish or a durable black epoxy coating to suit both performance needs and visual style. The untreated surface maximizes thermal rejection by exposing pure aluminum directly to airflow, while the epoxy layer adds a barrier against moisture, road salts, and airborne debris. The coating is applied without blocking core fins, so cooling capacity remains uncompromised. Whether you prioritize corrosion resistance in harsh climates or a sleek engine bay presentation, this radiator offers the flexibility to match your preferences.
