Default Radiator and support

I need to see some pictures of the radiator and radiator support with the nose off of a C3. Also, what is the radiator dimensions? Much appreciated.

WoW, There must be 10 different radiator dimensions during the C3 era. Care to be a little more specific.

On the support, I believe there were 2 models. BB and SB. The difference was the mount for the lower right support. The mounts for the top were just differnet brackets - right? On the radiators, there were various models with different thicknesses and connections, but weren't there only 1 size (LxH dimensionally)?

THE ONE authority on all that crap is Tom DeWitt, he knows....all else is BS, on account of the typical example of ONE car...which was most likely modded, and so Tom seen them all over the decades....ask HIM....

The frame I have is a 74 small block 4 speed frame. I just dropped in a 502 ramjet crate engine and TKO600. I need to fabricate the radiator mounts to be in roughly the same place and position as the original. I'll probably be spurned for this, but when I'm finished with this project will be rebodied as a Cobra.

Your radiator support is the same for small block or big block
