Default '67 BB core support ... where do I find one?

I'm looking for a reproduction '67 BB radiator core support, but haven't had any luck. Any ideas on where to find one?

I have two. Both are brand new. One is for an A/C BB and the other is for a non - A/C BB. PM me or e-mail me Golferdas@aol.com

Default I know

I believe the only firm that specialises in the radiator supports is Coffman's Corvette. The boss man is " Ernie ", and is very nice to do business with. If I'm not nistaken, I think they are somewhere in Florida, but I don't have any link to a web site, or e-mail address.

All of the supports that are sold by the various suppliers come from him, so if you don't work it out with mosportgreen66, you might want to do a little searching.

Email sent. Thanks for the replies! I'm having some cooling problems with my 383 LT1 powered '67, and I'm hoping an aftermarket C2 big block radiator will be a significant upgrade over my original copper SB radiator.

IMO get an AL rad with at least 1.25 inch tubes or else get a custom 5 or 6 row brass core spliced between your tanks.

'67 small-blocks didn't have copper radiators - a prior owner must have replaced the original aluminum stacked-plate Harrison with a look-alike copper radiator (which has about 30% less cooling capacity than the original). A DeWitt's reproduction Harrison aluminum radiator will cure your problem.

another source is Dewitts, though I do not know if they are simply reselling Coffman items. I got a complete rad shroud / support from Dewiits two years ago, and they sell the supports seperately as well.

and, as in all my Dewitts transactions, I was very satisfied with the product and the service

Great advice! You can get a Dewitt ordered and painted black to look original and will cool much better.

DeWitts has everything you need. Tom is a great guy and whenever I need antyhing that he sells, I am going to buy it from him.
