Default modifying the 64 Non-A/C core support

Ok, so Ccass said in another thread that Max Perf. was looking into a kit to modify the Non-A/C support so it would house the larger (17-1/2" core) radiator.
This sounds like a GREAT idea to me! I have a 64 Tempest 6 that is about to get a Pontiac V8 injection-- I 'KNOW' I'm gonna need a big radiator to cool the eventual 400 stroker that'll end up in it. Since I'm gonna be doing it, might as well do it right the first time...
So, with that being said, anyone ever modified a 15-1/2" support? It seems like you could cut the bottom section of the support out, make some extension straps (probably 6" - 8"), and either bolt, rivet, or weld them to the upper and lower parts with the 2" gap being provided by the extension pieces.
Am I missing anything? Is there a huge difference in how the big radiator is mounted vs. the smaller one? Can ou use the smaller mounting brackets on the bigger core?
Thanks!
