This is a dewitts radiator that is being sold on ebay by ecklers scratch and dent warehouse. Originally it was listed as a small block and it was sent to me. I figured out they screwed up and I sent it back. It is now relisted and when I saw it, it had some small dents but seemed as though it didnt have any cracks. It looked like all the fan parts are there and I believe it would be a great deal for one of us here if annyone is looking to upgrade an LT1 or any big block radiator. there was atleast 2 dents, I think they show the larger one

i had bought the one in the add because it was origianally listed as the Dewiits big block radiator that was modified to fit the small block support which is what i really wanted.
Since this is just a big block I would have had to change the whole support and buy all the necessary hardware. Then the hassle of pulling all the wiring and vacuum lines through the hole in the spport to change it. I have a 68 and the hole is small and I just didnt feel like it was worth it to me. I already had a small block dewitts that worked really well except for idling in traffic at the beach, so I just returned the whole thing and ordered a fan for my existing setup. I should be fine now
Sure, you'd just need to use the BB external coolant tank. Heck, almost anything can be made to work!
That's a GREAT deal...if I needed one I'd jump all over that. Wait until the last few seconds to bid...that's the best way to smoke the competition and win at the auction game!

Rescue Roger is right on this one. The radiator won't work with a stock '68 core support. This setup won't even work with a big block '68 core support setup. They have it mis-labeled in the ad. The only reason it will work in my '68 is that my core support has already been swapped out and the frame modified to run a later style large radiator because my dad was racing the car and needed all the cooling he could get.

On this one?????, I'm always right, just ask me. And another thing about me, I'm great too, super important, and I have a room full of leather bound books that smells of mahogany. But enough about me, you talk about me for a while.....Lol
