I wanted to install the biggest crossflow radiator I could fit in and with some cutting I managed to squeeze it in there :) Now I just have to make brakets on the top and bottom to hold it in there. With the radiator all the way forward up against the grill/headlight support, I have about 4" clearence from the water pump. No trans cooler Summit part GRI-1-56222-X

Made the bottom support using the brackets on the side with some 1/8x3 and 3/4x3/4 steel welded onto them and made a notch to clear the bottom hose. Nothing was attached to them when I disssembled the front. What were these brakets used for originally?

Hehe, hood lock. Still don't know what the brackets on the side were used for, maybe the air condenser that was long gone when I got the car? Don't remember, it was about 20 years ago.
 
It's a fairly low cost radiator, this one's a little higher cost because of the 1 1/4 in. tube size.
