Don't really want to cut core support for 26 in. Can this work?


First I would make sure your not lean on the fuel mixture.

Then I would replace the flex fan, it does not move enough air.

Then I would see it there's an improvement, I betting there will be.
Then I would fabricate or buy some kind shroud for the radiator.

I bet you there's nothing wrong with the radiator except for it's leaking. If any thing like said, have it re cored, don't replace it.

Good luck.
