I can testify to the quality, fit, and performance of Tom's radiators. They are nearly a piece of art. The fit was an important component for me. Nothing had to be modified, shifted, tweeked, or fabricated. Direct fit? nope. Perfect fit.

I benefited from a group purchase and his radiator was one of the best durability improvements I've enjoyed on my car. Imagine being able to not give a damn about how hot the weather is or how long you may be stuck in traffic. I don't even bother to check the temp gauge. It never rises higher than the thermostat regardless of the conditions.

Default BB Radiators from Dewitts

Boy is this great timing or what, the 68 is all but out of the body shop after 6 months and the first thing on my to do list after a complete front end rebuild is the Radiator. Being this is a 427/435 11-1 motor I need cooling here in the South. Tom whats the forum "Good Buddy" price on the alum 68 Radiator with the dual elec fans ? I can just see the Temp gage now cruising the summer away burning massive amounts of 100 octane Sunoco !!

The stock 68 radiator core is 22.5 and the duals are 23.5 so most people can't do a 68, but we can. I use a custom 23.5" core and it makes a great full coverage (100%) package that is awesome. Lousy photo, great package 1968 with dual fans

Does the free shipping apply to getting just fans or does it have to be the package system.

Tom: FYI: I just placed my order for a new radiator and core support with you. Also elected the item # 333 option for the radiator.

Ok, now we are beginning to see some action and some good questions.

First to answer this one. Other radiator companies develop a "package" and make everyone use this one package. I don't think that's they right way to do it. Just because you want dual fans doesn't mean you give up your right to have a true direct fit radiator. So the way we handle it, you simply order two items. First, pick the correct radiator from the list of "Direct Fit" rads, then add the fan kit (SP460) from the "Fans & Combo" group. We will take the two numbers and mount them together. All the wiring, relays, switch, etc are included in the package.

So for a 76 manual trans, I'd use the A73M radiator ($495) and the SP460 fan kit ($395) and that totals $890, done.

Now onto another item, "pay attention" because everyone seems to miss this. I CANNOT CHANGE THE WEBSITE ADDING THE FREIGHT. After you place an order the website automatically acknowledges the order back to your email address. It will show freight charges. YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED THIS. That is where I come in. I will process the orders and any order with CFGP in the name will be exempt from paying freight. This is typically $42 off.

The free freight is available on fans, rads and combo's.

Tom, all the comments you make on the board and your support of the forum are earning you future customers, even if they aren't buying a radiator right now. Don't feel like you are wasting your time here. My next radiator will be from you.

I am not sure I ever heard one complaint about DeWitt's products. Although I wasn't ready to replace my radiator last year, I didn't want to miss out on the group purchase. I might have been able to find a radiator for less elsewhere since time was not important. I do not have money to throw around so when I buy something I want to get the most bang for the buck. Many times the cheaper item does not mean it will be a better value. Sometimes it does, but not in this case. I feel confident that Tom not only sells quality items but will back up the sale with technical support based on knowlegde and experience. When I finally save up for electric fans I will by from DeWitts.

Thanks For the quick reply Tom..

Does the fan kit (sp460) come with all the wiring and temp sensors neccesary to do the complete install??? If so this is a pretty good deal.I priced Be Cools "700hp corvette cooling kit" at jegs for $1050
