Have you tried just sliding the frame in without the radiator? Should give a pretty close idea.

Even have I did that, the frame mounts to the side of the car(through the wheel wells) I have to drill those holes. and the two holes on the bottom of the frame where the suport mounts are.

I can see if it fits right.

I don't know if 82's are like this..but on my car. there's 2 bolts in each wheel well that bolt into the side of the radiator suport.

Haven't looked at mine.

BTW, have found a Camaro 302dz crossram that I am thinking about to replace the 82. Now that will be a daily driver!

Intake can only help more if you can flow more air through the heads.
