has anyone made the top bar of the radiator core support removable so as to be easier to replace engine/transmission assemblies ?
if so, how did you reinforce it for the bolt in attachment points ?
yes, i know about lowering/removing the K member, but this core support is being heavily modified for a crossflow radiator mounted in front of the support with a factory dual fan assembly mounted where the original [22"] radiator lived. i want to brace the top and bottom of the core support, as with the modifications, the top seems pretty flexible. [it felt that way before the modifications were started.]
TIA as always !
