As suggested I purchaced a 19 X 22 aluminum crossflow radiator for my V8 swap project. I am preparing to cut the support brace that runs across the top to enable the radiator to fit. Question- To secure the radiator how is everyone approaching that? I cant drill into the radiator. Are people just sandwiching the radiator between braces they weld or screw into the front end structure? Sanwiching seems to be to be a kinda halfass mounting system.

Maybe someone has a picture of what they did to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

It's a Howe 19 X 22; I think I just have it sitting lower than most people. I wanted it to sit under the top brace, mostly for looks.
