About this product
DeWitt's Pro Series Direct Fit aluminum radiator for the 1997-2000 C5 Corvette is built using the highest quality aluminum materials, assembled, furnace brazed, and TIG welded all in their Wixom, Michigan facility. Each radiator carries a limited lifetime warranty, is pressure tested, and carefully double wall boxed with insulation to ensure it makes the trip to you and keeps your project moving forward. This model is available in natural and Black Ice finishes.
DeWitt's press formed end tanks mean you won’t have any fitment issues and your factory cooling hoses, oil cooler lines, fan shroud, and more will all connect right up without modification. Using a two-row core built with 1-inch-wide dimpled core tubes, which create turbulence versus a smooth tube, increases heat transfer to the serpentine cooling fins. These cooling fins maximize air flow contact through the core to pull away the most heat, no matter the demand on the system, while the dual 1-inch tubes increase coolant capacity by one gallon over the stock single row core. DeWitt's Black Ice two-part epoxy coating is a semi-gloss black finish that provides an OE-like look for those that want to keep things low key under the hood.
Automatic transmission-equipped models feature a 7-plate internal cooler (twice the capacity of the stock cooler) while DeWitt's engine oil cooler, also a 7-plate design, can be fitted optionally to radiator applications that weren’t originally fitted for one.
