Default Dewitt radiator for '74 454
Hello all.
I'm considering a Dewitt for a hot running '74 454.
My question: Is the Dewitt aluminum direct fit for a '74 BB any different from the ones offered from Corvette Central, Zip, etc?
Thank you for any light you can shed on this.

I ordered my aluminum direct fit radiator for my '75 from Zip, and it is in fact a Dewitt's radiator. If you ask them they will be more than happy to tell you who manufactures the item.
