Thread: 73 Nova Radiator Support

Tweet

I got my new 3 row radiator. Old core was 21'' width new core is 23'' . By looks of core support it fits bottom but it's going be off set. Top radiator support was 24'' which now that's not going work either. Can I mount my fan shroud even through it going be off set or do I got find correct one. Only differance between two radiators was one for air.

As long as it fits ,it works.....
The main concern is actually getting the thing in there and it clearing everything,once its in there and clears ,it fits.
You should be able to still center the fan shroud in the correct place for the fan .....a little offset from center on the radiator,if it will mount on the radiator like that .
The radiator being a little one way or the other is ok,you may need a little strip of some sort on each side where the shroud is too small ,unless it still covers the entire core,the tanks may be the one inch difference in width ,not the core.......
Theres nothing wrong with purchasing a new correct sized shroud either ,depends on how handy you are and how much time you got or how much you want to spend.
Just make sure you seal off the front sides of the tanks ,so that air is forced thru the radiator into the engine bay ,not leaking around the sides of it ,instead of thru it...
