Here's the problem
By Royce P - 11/21/2005 1:43:51 PM; IP 72.49.142.152
I am guessing you bought a 24" clamp in radiator and the brackets for a '67 radiator?

The problem is that the '67 big block cars used a 22" radiator. The '68 cars used a 24" radiator and all the reproductions are 24" wide too. You need '68 lower mounts to use one of the reproduction radiators.

As you noted the opening in the 1967 core support is too narrow for the 24" wide radiator. You can cut the opening wider to make use of the extra cooling capacity. Measure the opening on a '68 Mustang to see the difference.
