That radiator is for a car w/ac. Does your car have AC? You did not say, and it's not in your profile.

My car does not have A/C. But the radiatorsupport is not from my car. I have bought it a while ago. Its still on the way to europe...

But that radiator can't be used with my support then? Is it the two mounts in the bottom/middle that is responsible for it does not fit?

that rad in the picture at ecklers has the two pins at the bottom, small block 4 speed with no air. If i remember right, all BB and small block with air use the saddle type bottom, both the pics has the pin type,
and yes my other car is a 68 lol

Thanks for the info

then I should also be able to change out the bottom mounts to saddle type/U mounts (I think paragon has them) and use a dewitts 68 BB direct-fit radiator instead, right?

Yes, the rad cradle structure is the same (except for some more holes in the air one for the lines), only difference is the lower mounts, which can be switched
I was in the same situation a few months ago, i needed a support for my 68, I have a 327 4 spd, but wanted to upgrade, so i got a BB support, and will run that type of rad
