Default Radiator Question
I have a line to pick up a pre-owned Dewitts Radiator that has the ports for Transmission Oil Cooler and the Engine Oil Cooler for a great price. However, my car has neither a Transmission or Engine Oil Cooler. Would it do any harm to use this radiator and just not install transmission or engine oil lines to it?

No harm, lots of people bypass these ports and to to separate coolers. Just plug the ports so crapulance cannot get inside while in use.

Why not buy the engine cooler lines and hook it up?

Good thinking. Is it a simple procedure?

It comes as one big piece that bolts on by the oil filter, one line holder and the two lines at the radiator.

You could probably get one from corvetterecyclers.com
