1967-1969 Camaro/Firebird F-Body Radiator for LS and LT Swaps
Swapping in an LS or LT engine with a manual transmission into a 1967 through 1969 Camaro or Firebird often leaves the stock radiator unable to maintain coolant temperature in heavy traffic or during spirited runs. This 1967-1969 Camaro/Firebird Radiator (Manual Trans) with Fans answers that issue by pairing twin electric fans with a fully TIG welded aluminum core that sustains consistent air flow at idle and under load. Precision match to original inlet and outlet locations plus factory frame rail mounts ensure a direct drop in fit that removes the need for custom brackets or hoses. Sensors adjust fan output automatically to protect your LS or LT powerplant from heat soak in city driving or on the track so you can focus on performance rather than temperature management.
Automated Twin Fan Cooling for Stable Engine Temperature
This radiator employs two high-capacity electric fans that engage based on coolant sensor data, ensuring an immediate response when temperatures rise. By splitting airflow demand between dual units, it maintains a balanced draw across the core, preventing localized hot spots common with single-fan setups. Integrated temperature controls modulate fan speed to match driving conditions, from slow city traffic to spirited highway runs. The result is a consistent thermal envelope for LS and LT powerplants, preserving performance and lowering the risk of heat soak during extended throttle use.
Precision TIG Welded Aluminum Core for Lasting Strength
Every joint within the core and end tanks uses TIG welding, recognized for its deep penetration and uniform bead. This meticulous process assures exceptional resistance to vibration and thermal cycling, which translates into leak-free operation through thousands of heat episodes. Constructed from high grade aluminum, the core delivers superior conductivity, quickly transferring heat away from coolant. Its corrosion resistance keeps internal passages clear, ensuring lasting efficiency and dependable cooling under continuous strain.
Engineered for Direct Drop-in Fitment in 1967 through 1969 F Body Frames
Mounting brackets and inlet outlets align precisely with original frame rails of 1967-1969 Camaro and Firebird models equipped with manual transmissions. This exact match eliminates the need for custom supports or adapter hoses, simplifying installation and reducing labor time. The radiator slides seamlessly into the factory location and mates directly to existing fittings, delivering a clean engine bay aesthetic. Installers benefit from a streamlined process, while builders gain confidence in a secure, OEM-style setup.
Protective Bare Aluminum and Epoxy Coating Choices
The core is offered in its natural aluminum finish for maximum heat rejection or with a black epoxy coating to enhance surface durability and engine bay appearance. The bare surface leverages aluminum’s natural conductivity, shedding heat rapidly to aid temperature stability. For those seeking added corrosion protection in harsh environments, the epoxy layer seals the metal, guarding against moisture and debris. This flexibility lets owners match their cooling upgrade to both performance needs and visual preferences.
