Front view

Sweet Components Bolt-in core supports are a direct bolt-in replacement, fixtured from stock core supports. Easy to install in even a FInished Car!

As you probably know, stock tri-fives placed the radiator in front of the stock core support in 6-cylinder cars and behind on V-8 cars. Our unit places the rear of the radiator approximately at the center of the stock core support. Not quite as far ahead as the 6 cylinder but way ahead of the V-8 location.

Due to the 15" thru by 33" wide dimensions of the radiator, we intended it to be cooled by 14" dual Spal fans electric fans. We sell a mounting bracket set for in either 16 g cold rolled steel or 6061 aluminum unfinished. You will need to drill and tap for six either 10-32 or 10-24 bolts.

Core Support Info: All sheet metal pieces are 16 G cold rolled. The 1" tubing is .083 wall while the ¾" uprights are .065. All welding by heli-arc. The radiator has no brackets or tabs to break off. It sits on rubber pads, top and bottom, and the top valance squeezes down on it to hold it in place just like a Chevy pickup. The main frame and top valance are sand blasted and powercoated because they just get nasty looking during the manufacturing process. We do the satin black but if you want to paint, the powdercoat is a good sealer/filler/primer.
