Mounting the Corvette radiator.

[Mike]

For those who used the vette radiator, what did you use to mount it?



I used small \"L\" brackets up top and flat bar on the bottom, mine is in the forward position.

I also lined all the egdes that would be metal to metal with hose.

I also cut a access hole for my filler cap in the core support.

I mounted the radiator to the support with a couple of bolts and nuts. I also placed pieces of rubber around areas that might be metal to metal. I like the idea of a hose to cover more area.

i used the L -brackets also. put them on four corners of radiator and used rubber blocks where metal to metal

Mine fit fine in the existing place of the old one. Same size.

I cut the top support out of the radiator/grill support which let me move the rad all the way forward in the support. I padded it with hose material. There still wasn\'t much room...a Taurus fan barely fits.

I used the factory fan shroud assy out of my 2.8, but I had to cut it back so only the mounting points on the top and bottom were left.. It works awesome. And I run my fan on the outside because I went with a long pump setup..

I use a 2.8 shroud mounted upsidedown it is offset to pass side slightly and set in the forward position I use a flexalite 400 series16 inch engine driven fan with goodyear 61092 and 61460 hoses.The vette rad fits perfectly in this shroud http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif

Cut the top of the rad support the width of the rad. L brackets top and bottom with rubber pads. Now I want to fabricate some metal to cover the top of the rad.

used the mounts. cut the fan shroud part off and put it in. works good.

modified the core support to mount it in the foreward position, then welded up a set of upper mounts like the ones JTR sells.
