4-core Radiator top plate for 68 cutlass

I'm converting my 68, 6-cyl to a 455. How do I deal with the radiator top plate now that I'm installing a 4-core radiator. The 68 442 top plate is virtually unavailable. Any suggestions from modifying my original top plate to other re-pops or substitutes are welcome.
Thanks.

I was wondering when you were going to get around to this.

If you don't care about totally stock looks, cut the brackets on your current top plate and widen them. Otherwise, buy a second set of the Ames bottom brackets and weld them on instead.
