Do you have any pictures of how your 31"x19" radiator fits in your car? I'm going to order one today and wanted to make sure this thing is going to fit. I measured 33" across on the core support but am wondering about the 19" in height. I'm pretty sure I'll be ok I just don't want to have the radiator coming over the core support (height wise).

Thanks in advance,

It's a tight fit in but the stock shroud was kind of sloppy so I made my own hold downs from alumunium bar stock and heated them and bent them to shape. Here's a pic, hope it helps you out.

It's a Griffin Radiator and Spal fans. The dual 11' fans I got at McCulloch Fabricating, Inc. Specializing in Aluminum Radiators for Racing & Custom Applications
