Review on DNA Motoring RA CCV873 3 Aluminum Radiator by Tim Toscano

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Height and width between tanks correct for Corvette 73 - poorly packaged

I was very pleased with the 2 day delivery allowing me to finish work this weekend and arrive next week for the upcoming 4th of July but the Things don't go as I had hoped. The radiator fits between the height and width of the tanks on my original 1973 Corvette. The width is about 1 inch thinner, but that shouldn't be a problem if you're replacing the foam gaskets at the same time. The entrance and exit were in the right places, but the angles were noticeably different. Whether these angle differences play a role, I can not say more precisely, because I have not installed them. The heatsink was not packaged very well and moved so much in the packaging that it was completely worn out by the inner foam (quite thin) and the outer cardboard (not very thin but flimsy). The bottom hose connector was badly dented, but other than that I liked the overall quality of the welds and wanted to try a different one. However, they will not stock a replacement for 2 months and this small fact was not mentioned until I decided on a replacement rather than a refund. :-(I think there is a way to change this, but oh my god

Pros
