Howe Aftermarket Radiators

[Scott Marzahl]

Has anyone seen this manufacturer before? Here is a link to an E-Bay advertisement. They look very similar to the Be-Cool radiators. My '67 will be a show and shine weekend driver, otherwise I would buy the DeWitts piece.
Just curious if anyone has heard of these before, the price seems very reasonable if it's any good.

Scott, The Howe radiators are very similar to Be-Cool and about same quality. As for fit in the original radiator core support and fit with an original fan shroud, I don't know, as their radiators are mainly sold to the race car market. I would think it would take some minor modifications to fit, same as with most of the Be-Cool radiators. Dave

Re: Howe Aftermarket Radiators

I would recommend you go with the DeWitts. How many owners have installed an aftermarket substitute radiator only to have cooling problems? A lot!!!

Re: Howe Aftermarket Radiators

Since you are not having your car judged by the NCRS, my original owner 68 327/350 came with aluminum radiator. It began leaking in 74. I replaced the aluminum radiator with a copper replacement. Still using it today. Have not had any cooling problems.

Scott - A copper core, "replacement" radiator just didn't sufficiently cool my '67 SB. A DeWitt's AL radiator did. No questions.

Since you didn't supply costs (for comparison purposes), a new DeWitt's SB rad with decals, painted, and fits like it did 35 years ago will run you about $770.

Go with it, Scott.
