Description
1970–1981 Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am (GM F-Body) aluminum performance radiator for cars with a manual transmission.
A direct-fit cooling upgrade for second-generation Firebird and Trans Am owners who want modern cooling behind the factory grille.
Cold Case builds this radiator from 100% TIG-welded aluminum with two oversized cooling rows for high coolant volume. It runs cooler than a stock copper/brass radiator—a Cold Case 2-row typically outperforms an original 4-row core by roughly 10–15%—while weighing far less. It is engineered as a direct-fit replacement with the correct factory stamping and OE-style fittings, so once painted it is nearly indistinguishable from an original.
Features & specs:
- 100% TIG-welded all-aluminum construction
- Two oversized cooling rows with 1.25" tubes for high coolant volume
- 16 fins per inch with corrugated fins for maximum surface area and heat transfer
- Direct-fit with correct factory stamping and OE-style fittings
- Pressure-tested for a leak-free seal
- Backed by a lifetime warranty plus the Cold Case 60-day cool guarantee

Comments:
I replaced my four core Radiator with stock clutch fan and shroud setup with the Cold Case Radiator and shroud with dual 12" Fans.
I would give the Radiator 5 Starts and the electric fans with shroud 3 Start. This setup will not work if you are running a Pontiac V8 in my opinion. It just does not pull enough air. I have Stock Pontiac 455 in a 1979 Trans Am. The Electric fans with shroud cold not keep the car cool. When moving the air would not flow past the closed portion blocked by the Shroud and when stopped the fans would not pull enough air to keep the temperature below 220. The same Radiator with Stock a clutch fan and shroud works perfectly. I would not would not buy the electric fan upgrade if you have a Pontiac Engine.
