DeWitt Radiator Update

I ordered a DeWitt radiator for my '92 LT1 Tuesday and received it 2 days later! I couldn't believe it got here that fast. The craftmanship is superb! I could not believe how good it looks! It really is a work of art! Now we all know that Tom's radiators are supposed to be direct fit, and I do believe this one will fit exactly where the old one is now. But this radiator is thicker than the stock one, flowing about twice the capacity so Tom does include excellent instructions to modifly the upper cushions and to trim the fan shroud. These two small alterations are all that is needed to greatly inhance the cooling ability of my Vette. This radiator looks so good I am going to hate covering it up with all the plastic shrouds that encase it. Tom, thanks for a great product and supporting this forum!

I'm **** about documenting anything I do to my car. I will definately take pics! I will be installing a Bigmouth air dam at the same time and will show that install as well!

The radiators for earlier cars like my '89 require absolutely no
alteration to the shroud and they come with replacement
mounts that are correctly sized.
