Early abody slant six aluminum radiator install modifications

Hey guys so pretty sure your guys know aftermarket aluminum radiators in a early a with a slant six is a pain in the ***. Reason being that champion does not have the correct core spacing.

1.What I did is had to cut off the radiator mounting brackets and welded them back 3/4 of an inch so I can have clearance with the mechanical fan

2. The wholes where the bolts fit are off the hood will not close because the radiator sits too high, so you have to drill holes above the radiator about the inch higher to allow the radiator to set lower.

3. The fan I used is solid 16inch universal fan I bought on online, to add more space I removed the fan spacer and mounted the fan directly on the pulley.

car runs great and cools very well it never gets above 170 idling or cruising hope this helps you guys.
