I have a 72 Cutlass "S" and im looking for a radiator core support does anyone have 1 with a picture available and for a decent price.

I also have a 70 Buick Skylark with a 350 Rocket and I wanna know why is is so difficult to to mount up andn what can I do to get this motor to mount correctly on the frame please help me out!

 

Please post your location or at least the nearest large city and state. John

 

Look on E-bay there are probally a lot of them.

 

3 core or 4 core radiator?

 

Just look up on e-bay CUTLASS RADIATOR SUPPORT there are a couple listed just e-mail the seller if its a 3 or 4 core support.If Im not mistaken it doesn't make a difference

 

It does make a difference, the 4 core radiator is wider than than the 3 core, so the brackets that hold the radiator in place have to be the correct width.
I might have a toplate in stock, that's why I was asking...

 

Honestly I dont know and how can I tell if u dont mind me asking dc2x4drvr

 

can you take of a pic of the lower core support saddles that the radiator sits on? Or, measure the saddles.
As far as your Skylark, look carefully at the frame, especially under the battery mounting area, these cars are known for developing cracks where the crossmember is welded to the frame rail.

 

well actually I wrecked my car at my house lol I was taking it for a drive around the corner lol and pulled in the yard the brakes went out and hit the steel beam and bent the entire middle section plate where u pull the the latch for the hood to open and the hood is no good I dont think and the bumpers is dented bad........and I got a new bumper and hood so do you think I would need the entire core support???

 

Depends on whether or not is was damaged and how bad. Do a visual from underneath. Depending how hard you hit, you may or may not have pushed the radiator and the support back. Did the radiator get pushed into the fan blade?

 

na it didnt go tht far but the center piece is bent in.........and the top part where the latch is bad its no fixing that

 

Then, it sounds repairable, as that should seperate from the support.

 

Sounds like you might need another core support if the top portion is bent, they're hard to straighten. Pry the hood up so you can see the damage. Alas, your bumper brackets are probably bent.

 

Ok gang i found a core support but i have a question my car is a 72 cutlass "s" the core support that i purchased says cutlass supreme would this core support fit?

 

These are the pics of the core support from a 72 cutlass supreme

And what is the difference between a cutlass "s" and a cutlass supreme??

 

Yes, there is no difference.

 

Thanks 1969w3155 i was to be like damn i was happy for no reason.......lol but i got it for a really good price 147.50 from ebay and about 65.00 to ship from salem illinos to pine bluff,ar

 

This is a side profile of my '71 Supreme, note the squared off roofline and rear fenders. The "S" has the fastback style roofline and rounded rear fenders. 1970-1972 body styles only. Then again with the new colanade styling, this was repeated from 1973-1977. The pre '70 bodies were the same, and it was a trim option, with the Supreme generally more upscale.

 

That's a good price!

 

There is not much of a difference with in the front of those cars but everything from a 71-72 cutlass interchange correct

 

@1969w3155 if I purchased 2 new motor mounts to put on the motor of my 68 cutlass 350 engine what would I need to do to make it fit for the 70 Buick skylark frame or would I have to fabricate some things

 

The "A" body frames are pretty much the same, just use the 350 Olds motor mounts and frame mounts, and it should bolt up.

 

im looking for a good block for my 71 cutlass that I just bought from Murfreesboro Tn and I live in Pine Bluff ,Ar not looking to travel that far
