    Been looking lol..... thats all I can do is search for stuff gotta sit around here waiting on what we talked about last night. I guess I could go take mine apart and take pictures as I put it back together. I will when I change all my front pulleys and brackets later and put th Borgerson pump on....just thought maybe someone may have had some handy

    When done properly, you cannot tell it didn’t come from the factory that way

    Not sure what you are looking for but I have a couple of pictures on my installation.   It’s only the radiator, I have not installed the engine yet.   

    What I did was leave extra metal and bent it inward which provided a nice snug fit to the radiator, no gap along the sides.  My lower brackets I made but I have the MII front end and the strut braces were replaced with 1x4 stock.

    I did a write up on my 24 install in my 66.  Look up the post history.  Should be good pics in there.
