You better follow up the order with a phone call to christyn to tell her. Or email to ordertaker@dewitts.com

Just placed my order for a radiator (26" core) and spal fan kit for my '69 Coupe.

It will be nice not having that stock fan and shroud in the engine compartment!!!

Thanks again, Merry Christmas and happy birthday!!!

I'm bringing this back up to the top because no matter how many times we have this sale it seems we always have people complain they never saw it.

Another reason is to remind you that our dual fan kit is included in this ($50 off) sale. So a rad/fan combo would only be $820 which is about $300 less than the competition.

Tom,
I purchased the dual spals from you last year and am seriously considering getting the Direct Fit Aluminum rad. for my 71 vert-originally an LT-1 but now have 383/480hp SBC . the one thing I am concerned about is the fit of the radiator into the OEM mounting saddles/cushions, I thought I had read where the saddle cushion had to be modified or you sold special cushions for a proper fit. Do you have any information on this? I have a new set of upper and lower cushions I purchased from ZIP.
Thank You

Tom,

What would it take to run your 69 radiator and fans in my 68?

Is it as simple as swapping out the fan shroud?

Just looking for the maximum cooling possible - thanks.

Since the sale is free shipping, that's the final price.

Canada is not included in the free shipping but I can save you lots of money by going to the US post office instead of UPS.
Canadian guys near the border just need to find a brokerage firm on the US side with a warehouse to ship too. They'll charge you next to nothing to hold for you ,just swing across and pick it up. Just pay pst and gst coming through the CND customs. I use A.N. Derringer Inc.

That was all about the 77-82 model only. All others fit stock cushions

It really depends on which radiator support you have in there now. The 68 had two different ones and they are both unique to 1968. Assuming the car had either AC, or auto, or a big block in it originally, then this might be a nice choice.

Happy Birthday Tom!

I ordered my radiator and fan a couple weeks early, so I missed this GP. Oh well... My engine builder was very impressed with your radiator! He is very happy the 540 he built for me won't be overheating!

Hi Tom,

Got my radiator yesterday and it is very nice. Thanks for getting it to me so quickly and I understand why this forum continually compliments your products because mine looks impressive.

The core face is 26 x 17, counting the fin surface only. If you include the upper and lower channels, it's about 18.5 tall. The overall width is about 32"

Hello Tom, I just made the first major purchase to begin upgrading my Vette. Dual fans and an aluminum radiator should be able to handle the Texas heat. All of the great reviews from the forum members really make it an easy sell.
