removing the top of the core support greatly reduces the strength of the engine compartment and unless it is reinforced, the rad mounts will break and the stability will be greatly reduced.

There is now a sturdy bolt on top piece for the rad support with a bolt and dowel on each end. Also there is a cross brace in front of the distributor that ties into some 1.5 X .095 tubes under the fenders and aprons which go from the frame horns to the firewall. Since I routed all the wires and such through the tubing, there is very little to move to get an engine in or out. Hood stays on!
