radiator core support
I'm swapping radiators, car is in shop, cam needs replaced and radiator is shot. Car is 71 4 speed, non a/c. I ordered dewitt's model 955, from what I can tell this should fit my car. Paragon has 3 core supports for my year, 71 LT-1 w/o m22, a/c, and auto, 71 bb, and 71 sb, non a/c, lt-1 w/ m22. Can anyone tell me if I need anything besides this radiator to install it? I don't want to buy a $300 core support if it's the same one in the car already, thanks for your help.

DeWitt's Direct Fit radiators will mount in your original support. If you are ordering anything larger than the stock aluminum radiator, you may need a new support to go with it.

I think I already have the correct core support.

My car is a 350, 4 spd, non a/c. Originally had an aluminum radiator. I don't see that the ZR-1 used a unique core support, should be the same as small block base model non a/c.
I might need this:

But I don't see what else is different.

Another problem you might have is that upper neck hitting the underside of the hood. I'd probably switch it out to a 941 and make this right. Unless you are trying to counterfeit a ZR-!, there is no reason to go through all this.
