People have said they just installed the right side and it worked , or modded the right side after bolting the rad to the left and the fan didn't hit the shroud so ????

It looks well and shroud/fan line up fine. Not much of the core is hidden and it is very hard to tell the difference between a 22 and 26 inch opening

I think if you replace the PS side, the slots int he radiator will probably allow you to mount it. I have pics somewhere showing the difference on the DS. 68 Road Runner (383/4speed, post car w/decor pkg) - Major Project 69 Road Runner w/472 Hemi & 4 speed. 70 Challenger R/T SE EF8 w/ V9J, U - A32 - Major Project 2023 Ford Mach 1

So answer me this, those who know: If I replace the passenger side of the core support, will I be able to mount the 26" radiator without modification despite the 1/2" difference? Seems dumb that they made the cars this way over half an inch. They could have easily avoided two parts instead of just one.
