LS and LT Swap Radiator with Fans for 1967-1969 F-Body Camaro/Firebird Manual Trans
If you are upgrading a 1967 through 1969 F-Body Camaro or Firebird with an LS or LT powerplant, this radiator with dual fans solves the common overheating issues that occur with manual transmission setups. Its aluminum core and tanks were crafted to reduce underhood heat and allow for consistent coolant flow under hard acceleration or stop and go driving. Built to fit the frame rails exactly, it drops into place without custom brackets and the fans engage automatically to keep temperatures stable whether you are cruising or on the track.
Precision Engineering for a Seamless Fit
The radiator is crafted to align perfectly with the frame rails of 1967 to 1969 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models fitted with a manual transmission. Each mounting point and inlet location has been measured to match factory dimensions, eliminating the need for custom brackets or adapter kits. This exacting approach ensures a streamlined installation process and proper alignment with existing hoses and shroud. By holding tight tolerances the unit drops into place securely and remains stable under vibration and dynamic load.
Superior Thermal Management with Dual Electric Fans
This cooling assembly features two high performance electric fans that engage automatically to maintain consistent coolant temperature whether you are idling in traffic or pushing hard on the track. The twin fans pull a large volume of air through the core, rapidly dissipating heat generated by LS and LT engines under heavy load. Temperature sensors govern fan speed to minimize energy draw while ensuring the engine stays within its optimal operating range. The result is stable performance and reduced risk of heat soak during extended demanding runs.
Robust TIG Welded Aluminum Core and Tanks
Constructed entirely from premium aluminum, the core and tanks are joined using TIG welding to create a leak proof seal and superior joint strength. Aluminum offers excellent thermal conductivity and a lightweight profile compared with traditional materials, while the weld joints resist fatigue and corrosion even under repeated heat cycles. Built in the USA under strict quality control each radiator is pressure tested for long term reliability. This rigorous build process delivers a cooling component that stands up to both daily street use and track duties.
Coating Options for Protection and Visual Appeal
Choose a natural bare aluminum finish that highlights the raw metal surface or opt for a black epoxy coating for enhanced corrosion protection and a refined appearance under the hood. The epoxy layer bonds tightly to the aluminum substrate, shielding it from moisture, road debris and surface blemishes without compromising heat rejection. This coating not only boosts durability but also allows you to integrate the radiator seamlessly with your engine bay styling. Both finishes undergo controlled application to guarantee uniform coverage and lasting quality.
