Whats up guys Im in the process of a v6 to v8 swap and I wanted to know if anyone had any information or links for a radiator support for my new 2 core champion radiator (not the core just what i need to make it snug in the core) any info helps Thanks guys btw its a Cutlass if that helps
 
The plastic shield on the drivers side will unbolt from the support, then use a shroud from a V8 car. The supports are the same.
 
Ok even if im not using a shroud im going electric fan, ive heard you can take them from donors but i would rather find a link(online shop) where I can buy a replacement support that goes over the top of the radiator that bolts to the core support, no what i mean... :?:
 
Ok you are talking about the metal top plate. Nobody makes new ones as far as I know. Any V8 Cutlass or Regal has those also diesel cars do to. Sandblast and paint or powdercoat it will look like new.
 
I think you can use the ABody radiator supports :idea: If so, JEGS and SUMMIT both sell chrome GM replacements :mrgreen:
 
there are quite a few that sell new radiator top plates, you are gonna pay over $200 for them though. Most of the ones I have seen are over 200 but just found them on gbodyparts.com. Here's the link http://www.gbodyparts.com/product_info. ... cts_id=692, they have them listed for $124.99 bare.

Why not just cut up a plastic shroud for the top part? But then I'm a convicted cheap-*ss.
