Cold Case is as good as a Dewitt and half the price for their equivalent HD rad. Use the money you save for your electric fan(s). Best advice - get the biggest rad that will fit in your car!

What rad support is currently in your car? If it has the stock for a 350 cid 300 hp non auto or ac, it will not accept a wider rad without a swap of support or mods to your current one.
I have a nice B-Cool alum. rad for sale in C-3parts for the smaller opening. I upgraded for a stroker motor and AC in the future.
Good luck. Nice paint from what we can see.

Its an original 350/350hp car 4speed no ac. I rebuilt the original motor with a slightly bigger cam aluminum intake fuel injection and headers that bolt directly to factory style side pipes but they're larger and breathe better by hi flow exhaust Im also adding ac

I have a BeCool Radiator that is over 28 years old. It keeps on cooling and it was cheaper than the alternative at the time. Get the dual Spal fans and then look up the DeRale PWM Electronic Cooling fan controller. It starts them up at 50% power and ramps them up based on the temperature you want the engine to run. No loud fans starting up and spiking your electrical system with full power to both fans at once.
The DeWitt's Radiators are very,very well made and are great quality. The only down side is that they are a bit more expensive than the competition. If you have a really hot running Corvette then I would spend the extra for the Dewitt's as Tom knew how to make a car cool properly!

I recently worked with DeWitts to build a custom radiator overflow tank for my 73 restomod.
Aluminum, just like the 63-72 expansion tanks that replaces the 73 and up plastic overflow tanks.
Their entire staff was great to work with and the new custom tank is beautiful.
Its hard to find that kind of customer service these days.
I would go with DeWitts again just for their customer service and knowledgeable staff.
