Best Current Radiator Options?
 

I know there are a lot of options discussed around here, but availability seems to come and go. I don't need dramatically more cooling then stock, but I do not want some cheapie, made in China unit either.

So what do you guys recommend that is currently available?

Why are you looking at another radiator?
Most times any cooling problems are remedied
by cleaning out and around the radiator.
You will be amazed at all the crap you collect
from a "bottom feeder". Plastic bags, critters,
Supras...

If it's leaking that's another matter. Plastic
side tanks attached to a metal core never
made any sense to me. That being said,
many just get another NOS radiator.

One issue if you are doing the switch yourself
is "drop in" vrs "some adjustment necessary."
Be careful of the claims.

I placed a DeWitt's 3 row. Did require some
work trimming the shroud. Looks cool (pun)
works well. Worth the $$? Up to you. You
still have to remove and clean as necessary.

I second the DeWitt's 3 row. Several of us in Wazoo land have gone this route and are happy we did.

You nailed it on the plastic side tanks. Those will start leaking. Pretty well a matter of when rather then if. And if they do, it will always be far from home and at a really inconvenient time. I'd rather do it on my schedule, and if I'm gonna be yanking out the radiator anyway, I might as well drop a nice new one into it.

I don't have an issue going with a stock replacement. It doesn't get that hot out here that often. Nor am I going for an insane horsepower build. I am planning a top speed run though for 2021, so I want it to all hold together well for that.

Thank you sir!

Installing a Dewitt single row right now. Beautiful piece. I went single because not planning to up HP or mod. But the extra capacity over stock of the single should allow me to run AC when running hard in mountains. It?s an absolute beautiful piece of workmanship too bad it?s all covered with a shroud.

Hey Steve.
Did you run a stick one in the red 91? This one is going in blue? Any differences worth mentioning? Other then price, of course.

Re: Best Current Radiator Options?
 

I have the Dewitt's single row with a underdrive & lightweight water pump pulley.

Car never runs hot.

I am very satisfied with the radiator.

Currently I run approximately 70% distilled water and 30% green antifreeze. Good to 0*

If I were in a warmer climate I would run 80/20 ratio.

Can't go wrong with either Ron Davis or Dewitt.
I'm running a Ron Davis Desert in front of a 427 Stroker. Never had an overheating episode yet.

Hey Erik. I put a new plastic tank stock style in red. Only the best for blue. Putting on a new set of hoses from Heibeck also. The 30 year old ones were a bear. I cut them all off. They were nearly bonded to the metal.
