Radiator Camaro 70-81 Auto Trans Black

The Radiator Camaro 70-81 Auto Trans Black by DEWITTS RADIATOR is a high-performance cooling solution engineered for second-generation Chevrolet Camaros equipped with automatic transmissions. This radiator exists to replace aging cast-iron units that struggle with modern driving demands, heat cycling, and potential internal corrosion. Whether you're restoring a classic muscle car, upgrading cooling efficiency for summer cruising, or preparing your Camaro for spirited driving, this radiator provides the thermal capacity needed to keep engine and transmission temperatures in the optimal range.

Built by DEWITTS RADIATOR—a name trusted by automotive enthusiasts and restoration shops—this unit features robust aluminum construction with efficient core design that maximizes heat dissipation compared to factory originals. The black finish provides a clean, modern appearance while the auto transmission-specific design includes provisions for transmission cooler lines, ensuring integrated thermal management for both engine and fluid temperatures. At 22 pounds and measuring 23.75 x 8.75 x 36 inches, this radiator fits the factory mounting points and envelope of 1970–1981 Camaros without modification, making installation straightforward for DIY mechanics and professionals alike.

Second-gen Camaro owners running automatic transmissions benefit most from this radiator, particularly those with higher-displacement engines or those who tow, drive in traffic, or operate in warm climates where stock cooling falls short. The transmission-integrated design prevents hydraulic fluid degradation caused by excessive heat, extending fluid and component life while maintaining shift quality and reliability. Installation requires basic hand tools and working knowledge of coolant system maintenance; ensure the cooling system is drained before removal, then reverse the process with fresh coolant and proper burping procedures to eliminate air pockets.
