67 - Radiator support
« on: February 09, 2018, 02:19:01 PM »
67 S code GTA  San Jose  April 67
Is there a difference in sizes  between  any of the radiator  supports small block vs big block, I put in a NOS rad support  and it is too narrow  for the holes to line up on the 390 radiator shroud

Master Parts Catalogs show only one radiator support, with no engine differentiation. Original Part # C7ZZ-16138-A, which was replaced by C7ZZ-16138-B in March of 1968.

There is an early and late version (change was during 67 production) of the radiator support but not one for each engine size but it didn't include a change in bolt hole locations

The radiator shroud on a big block does not attach to the radiator support and the radiator is not directly attached either but instead cradled between an upper and a paint of lower insulated mounts as discussed in another thread last week I believe

Picture of your issue and the parts your working with might help

My inexperience  got the best of me , didn't  do my research  got my rad shroud  today  and thought  it would  line up with holes in rad support ,there wasn't  one on the car when I got it might  be missing  some brackets

Jeff is of course correct in that the 390 Radiator did not mount into the holes on the radiator support as did 289 radiators.
I should have attached the following from the Body Assembly Manual.
