Vette(s): 74 coupe 4 speed 350, 54K actual miles, all original; paint, interior, engine, split bumper. #'s match. 2nd owner, no stress cracks.

Where is a good place to get the best price for good quality aluminum radiator for my 74/ 350 4 sp? I see them for $500. Any place else? Thanks

I used a Griffin universal GM 31"x 19" two tube for less than half that much. Bought it from Summit.

Dewitts is the best place. Buy them direct. This is where all the NCRS guys buy them as they are the best as a direct replacement (for judging). WWW.DEWITTS.com 810-220-0181.

Vette(s): 1981, Black/Black, Engine bumped to about 400HP.Ext/int mostly stock.

I got the DeWitt's direct replacement for mine. $470, but very little work needed to make it fit. All I had to do was trim the rubber pieces in which the radiator is suspended, as the radiator is thicker than the factory unit. All in all, I couldn't be happier. You can find 'em considerably cheaper, but you won't know how much fabribation you might have to do until you get it and start installing it....
