OK :-) What are the exact dimensions of your rad core? Just the core!
Are you planning on mounting it long ways?

Paul Lamar


13 inches x 18 inches  Mounted long way.   Jerry


OK That means of course you are going to need a space
above the rad core at its leading edge of (235 *.3) /13 or 
5.4 inches. Do you have room under the oil pan for that?

If you mounted it sideways you would only need 235 * .3 /18 
or 3.9 inches.

Still want to mount it long ways?

BTW I am going to buy a set of those flaps from you when
you have time to make another set.
