This will give more room for the fan assembly which, in my case, is critical. I am woefully short of space between core support and engine pulleys. The good news, in my case, is that the lower hose connection point on the radiator is on the side about 6 inches from the bottom. This will clear the crossmember and massive sway bar and I may even be able to use the factory hoses. Top hose is pretty long and twisted. ....by the way, you got me thinking about a little paint for the engine. dug.
I'm using the original core support. I have a 6.0 LS2. I would think the vette radiator should keep it cool. I also have the engine sitting pretty far back on my clip.
