Well, the word has been for the last 2 yrs I know of that Dewits Direct fit is the cats azz, I have seen a couple of them and installed the Dual Spall kit on one. I can tell you that it is indeed a bolt on-no mods needed whizbang unit. I even liked the coolio vents in the spall shroud.
However, there is a new guy, I don't know anything about his product except he says it is a bolt in and fits the existing mounts and its $100 cheaper, or thereabouts.
He is on ebay, here is a link

Tom at Dewits has a button on the left of the menu.

I looked at this setup on Ebay. Anybody able to tell me if or why the DeWitt's set up for my C3 is worth about $320 more? I realize with the Ebay fellow the fan harness is extra and I'm taking that into account. I was hoping DeWitts would have had some kind of forum sale by now and made up my mind earlier....I like supporting our forum sponsors, but $320 is a lot of money for a ole poor boy like me.

LOOK close at the product, he don't claim they Spals, and then the shrouds don't have the one way rubber flappers for airflow at higher speeds, and increased suction at lo speeds/traffic....they are a china knockoff....bet on it....
dunno jack about the rad itself....I just have Tom's fans...and they flat WORK, damnit....

I hear you on the budget stuff man, me too, I have a '89 or so later Camaro V8 radiator in there,...same core size as my SB '72....
and a set of Spals I mounted up really easy off the rad supports myself with roof flashing from houses...HD/Lowes as surround material to seal to the entire rad....I used NO bolts to the rad, just the steel support...

different approach
i used a no name aluminum radiator, and the markVII monster fan. i had to do a little fabricating for brackets and wired it to run whenever ignition is on. (its allways hot here) . it cured all of my heat issues. but at the car shows, the dewitts clearly presents better.
