Had the front bumper off the red Valiant today so I shot a picture of the XV rad support. Very nice product. If you have the ability to weld and to do some minor fabrication then this is a good modification to put on the list.

Andy, I've heard someone "say" you could run an XV radiator brace and still run the factory brace. Don't know how true that is. Or what body style that was (I think E-body).

Do you think you could have installed that XV with the factory brace still in it??

Is the K frame welded and the steering boxed mount boxed in? Inquiring minds would like to know

In fact, I welded the existing lower supprort to the XV piece

Haven't put one back yet. My plan is to start with the radiator from the wrecked 07 Charger, which will fit with a TON of room left. I don't see where it would impact the stock radiator.

YOu don't mind not being able to get it welded on all four sides on each end?

Pretty sure you have to run a cross-flow radiator unless you weld in the supplied extensions.
