69 SB Harrison Radiator
Folks,
My Harrison radiator is weeping, time to replace. I'd like to replace with another Harrison. Who sells a replacement Harrison SB (4sp), non AC radiator?

Dewitt's sells the best radiator in the business IMO. They look correct and perform better than original.

I don't think they make aluminum stacked plate style replacement radiators anymore.

Hi Jim,
I believe the 69 base engine ,4-speed, non a/c, car you described did use the aluminium radiator.
If you're interested in originlity the DeWitt reproduction is a very nice choice for a radiator that looks just like the original; AND cools great (as cape said)!
There are certainly cheaper replacement radiators but none with the appearance of the original Harrison.
Regards,
Alan

I have read nothing but good things about Dewitts but I couldn't afford one from them. I found a low-price alternative that fit very well and have been really pleased with it.
If you do a re-core please post details & costs--I still have my original radiator and would think about getting it done. Thx

the you have the same aluminum radiator that came in your 63sw.
We do make a Direct Fit replacement for that application
But if you have AC, or Auto, or L46, or LT1 or any combination of those items, then you need the A70 model

Guys,
Thanks for all the advice. Sorry, I should have posted the engine. It's for my 1969 vert 350/350 L46 (4sp, PS, PB, no AC). Loks like some good options. I see that Cranes make replacement Harrisons. Any experience?
