Hello! It's been a while since I've been on, hopefully my posts haven't been too annoying thus far.

I have another question. I purchased a Spicer Performance aluminum radiator for my 72' Cutlass supreme. It looks like the width fits and the height is okay, but there is an issue with the depth of the core. I didn't catch that measurement when I ordered at Schucks and now I'm a bit worried.

The stock radiator core is only 2 7/8" deep and this new one is 3 5/8". I had the core support powder coated, but I was wondering if I can just bend the core support brackets out a bit using a pair of plyers to make the new radiator fit.

Another snag is that the car is equipped with AC and has the condenser that sits in the front of the radiator. I am also wondering if this bigger radiator will it effect mounting the AC condenser.

If anyone has had this issue before I would greatly appreciate your experience.

 

Think I found my answer after I posted...

Looks like I have a nice 4 core aluminum radiator for sale if anyone is interested. I paid $337 for it through Schucks. Spectra Premium CU165 is the part number.

Dang it...I wish I would have done this before I powdercoated the darn core support.
