Radiator Support Question
Can anyone help me identify this radiator support?
I think it is a 68 small block but I am not sure.
If you can help to identify it I would appreciate it.
Thank you and best regards,
David Howard

Hi,
The configuration of the two lower 'cradles' indicate that the core-support is for a copper radiator not an aluminum radiator.

Hi t,
Your photo shows the lower mounts for an aluminum radiator, David's photo shows a core-support for a copper radiator.

My 6t8 SBC has that design. The original engine was a 350hp 327. There has been much discussion regarding radiators in the 68 model year. Some 350hp came with aluminum radiators some with the copper ones. A late 68 that I've worked on a BBC has an X cross brace but the same design as pictured. T
