Like I mentioned, to mount the radiator without the shroud, the best solution I've found is the upper core support plates that are used on Camaros, Chevelles, Novas etc..... They come in different widths.

That's how I did dad's GTO back when he was experimenting with electric fans. His radiator is also encased in the factory shroud and used to hold the radiator by bolting to the upper core support. With that gone, it was just as simple as bolting a Chevelle upper radiator support to his existing core support holes and it holds the top of the radiator as designed, and looks stock. Very easy to do. I didn't have to drill anything. In fact when he decided to go back to his clutch fan and stock shroud, it was as simple as removing that top Chevelle plate, sticking the radiator back into the factory shroud and bolting it down. Literally a 10 minute process.

Is this the core support you are talking about ?
The radiator is going on with stock shroud at first. I can't put any electric fan until I figure out how to hold the radiator.
The radiator I have looks to be made by the same people who make Cold Case. Looks well made.
Its 70 deg on a warm day where I live and it won't be street driven. If I can find a way to set the electric fan shroud I do have back 1/2"-3"4" it should help.
I will try that before getting the Flex A Light 460$ fans.
I might not have much of a problem since I live where its cool and I drag race it.

Yes I used one of those.
