Is your original radiator core support intact or has someone cut away
portions to get more air to the radiator? Someone used a blue-wrench (torch)
and
cut away much of my car's core support and it caused the radiator to become
a stressed member of the chassis --- literally, it alone was connecting the
front fenders together. My radiators would last one racing season and then
begin leaking. Beyond that, the car developed a six inch 'tear' in the
left inner fender.
To resolve this, I drilled out all of the spot welds and removed what was
left of the core support and Larry Atkisson welded in a replacement. Perfect
now, and no more radiator problems.
