I have a 54 gmc with a tpi 350 and auto trans, I have the early camaro subframe in it.

I used cut pieces of galvanized steel that I custom made to block off all the openings, so that I could turn the original radiator support into a simple but effective fan shroud.
I did not want to spend $600 on a radiator made to fit when I could do a better job for under $200. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 51 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2007 Posts: 51 | Thanks for the ideas guys!!

And being a stout internet technophobe, I don't have the first clue how to publish photos on the internet either. But I could take digital pics and email them. With a dial-up, it would be kinda slow, but anybody wanting an email from me, please tell me in a PM. I can plan on giving it a week for any responses, and then send out the photos.
