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.

If using a Front Runner style system , use the following information to verify clearance: Core Support distance from firewall to flat area next to master cylinder is 29 5/8". Stock is 28 7/8" This places the rear of the core support 3/4" ahead of the stock core support.

These will not fir cars with Camaro/Nova front clips.. Newman frames require a notch in the frame for proper fit.

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.

Radiator Info: Aluminum crossflow 14 fin per inch-modine core two 1" tube design pressure tested to 25 psi. (NOTE: always use anti-seize compound on overflow nipple). *Specify Small block, Big block or LS-series Chevy motor.
