has anyone used a dewitts radiator with dual spals to cool a medium hp big block? if so, what did you use for hoses?
just thinking about a change.

I have one and it uses factory hoses.

I think that is one of the direct fit features.

I use the SB Dewitts direct fit with a 650hp big block and no problem keeping it cool...even with AC. I did this with the stock clutch fan and now a Lincoln MK 8 electric...never over 185*....
