  1. Tom:

    I'm not sure if this is what this conversation is about but I ended up modifying mine to make it fit my "Champion Cooling" 4 core rad.  It is pretty rough but it works and I'm sure you could do a better job than me.  I'm not that skilled with a cut off saw, so it came out "WAY" less than perfect.  I also modified the rad support in similar fashion.

    Also FYI, if you haven't bought the insulator pads, I previously bought a set of insulators for a stock 4-core rad, for a '70 Monte, and the short/top pieces did not sit properly on the after market aluminum 4-core. I ended up needing the 2 (stock) longer pieces that the rad sits on (bottom pieces).  This is what allowed the rad and the "radiator top plate" to sit properly with the aftermarket rad. Hope this with the attached pictures makes sense.

  2. Steve, wishing you a speedy recovery.  My wife is going through some difficult times with her back.  So I have some idea what you have gone through.  I hope all goes well and you get back to 100%.  All the best!

  3. Was bored so started "surfing" and came across a bunch of Monte articles on the Chevy Hardcore website.  Not sure if anybody has seen the Youtube video in the article below but I thought I'd post the link here if anybody wants to take a look at this apocalyptic creation.  Also saw a nice review of Dan's "slap stick" conversion and pictures of what looked like FGMCC cars lined up at a couple of the Carlisle events.

  4. Thanks for the very quick reply.  Can you elaborate?  What is it that makes them different are the mounting pin positions different?  I have one for a '71 but my Monte is '70.  When I look at "Parts Place" they look the same.  Appreciate the help.
