It will fit snug between the front frame, but may be able to make it work. Thanks
I think your idea of a channel top and bottom is a good one to attach the mounting pins to. I would make them in aluminum and just weld them to the radiator. Then you could bracket to the top and bottom pins like an original set up. If the original type look isn't of concern I'm sure we can come up with a simpler installation method. It sounds like a GM cross flow radiator, does it have a cap on the top of the left header tank?
