Default C2 radiator core support differences

What is the difference in the radiator core supports for a 1965 midyear with a small block and 1966-1967 midyear with a small block? I need one for a 65 but found one for sale for a 66. Will the 66-67 core support fit a 1965 without issue?

Thanks

No , at least not without issue. The 65 support stands more upright and everything is different with the shroud etc. It will work, but you would have to use 66 shroud parts.
