Default Radiator

I would like your thoughts and or experience with the Frostbite FB250 Aluminum 4 row radiator by Holley made in China. I am in process of removal of original radiator on my 1975 corvette. The frostbite is at Speedway motors Lincoln, Ne. which is about 50 minute drive for me..I would like pro and or cons about this radiator. I have also looked on line at the one offered by Corvette Mods. Would very much appreciate your input. Thank you.

Cant comment on that radiator but Corvette Mods hasn't had the best reputation on this forum lately.
Personally I would go with Dewitts on the radiator

Around here Dewitts has a reputation second to none. They're the best.
50 miles from Lincoln? Are you in Omaha?

DeWitt's is "best" but most expensive. Champion is a good quality product and much less expensive...but it is not configured exactly as stock (size of inlet/outlet tube may be different; location is not usually an issue). I know nothing of Frostbite radiators...but the name sounds ominous.

Check out Cold Case, got mine from Summit at $369 . Large two row design and works great, direct fit with very little adjustments to rubber mounts on my 81.

I'm in Lincoln and would be interested in your old original one to study what was installed from the factory.
