1982-1992 Chevy Camaro, Pontiac Firebird 3 Row Aluminum Radiator 30×20 Automatic and Manual

1982–1992 Chevy Camaro / Pontiac Firebird 3 Row Aluminum Radiator OVERVIEW The third-gen F-body was one of GM’s most capable performance platforms of its era — but the factory cooling system wasn’t built with a rebuilt 350, a TPI swap, or a high-compression cam in mind. Aged copper/brass OEM units corrode at the tank seams, lose capacity as scale builds up internally, and don’t have the thermal headroom that a modified engine demands. The Fluidyne 3 Row Aluminum Radiator for the 1982–1992 Camaro and Firebird is a direct-fit replacement that drops into the factory radiator support without modification. Full aluminum construction. Extruded tube cores. A significant step up in cooling capacity and long-term durability over any aging OEM or economy replacement unit. Fits: – 1982–1992 Chevrolet Camaro — all V8 applications including Z28, IROC-Z, and 1LE – 1982–1992 Pontiac Firebird — all V8 applications including Trans Am and GTA KEY DIFFERENTIATORS Full Aluminum Construction No plastic end tanks. No copper/brass core that scales up over time and loses heat transfer efficiency. The entire unit — tanks, core, and tubes — is aluminum. Lighter than the factory unit, and a better heat exchanger in every measurable way. Direct Fit — No Fabrication Required Engineered to the factory radiator support dimensions for the 1982–1992 F-body platform. Drops in without cutting, drilling, or adapter brackets. Factory hose connections and fan shroud mounting are maintained. TIG-Welded Tank-to-Core Interface The tank-to-core joint is TIG welded, not crimped. On a high-compression or modified engine running elevated coolant temperatures and pressure, a welded joint is significantly more reliable than mechanical retention over the life of the radiator. FEATURES Full aluminum construction — tanks, core, and extruded tubes 3 Row core — 30″ × 20″ overall dimensions TIG-welded tank-to-core interface Automatic variant: integrated transmission cooler loop in lower tank Direct fit to 1982–1992 F-body radiator support — no modification required Includes high-pressure radiator cap Natural aluminum finish VEHICLE FITMENT TABLE Year Range Make Model Engine Notes 1982–1992 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 305, 350 V8   1982–1992 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z 305, 350 V8   1988–1992 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE 305, 350 V8   1982–1992 Chevrolet Camaro (base / Berlinetta / RS) 305 V8   1982–1992 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 305, 350 V8   1987–1992 Pontiac Firebird GTA 350 V8   1982–1992 Pontiac Firebird (base / Formula) 305 V8
