Is your original radiator core support intact or has someone cut away 
portions to get more air to the radiator?  Someone used a blue-wrench (torch) and 
cut away much of my car's core support and it caused the radiator to become 
a stressed member of the chassis --- literally, it alone was connecting the 
front fenders together.  My radiators would last one racing season and then 
begin leaking.  Beyond that, the car developed a six inch 'tear' in the 
left inner fender.

To resolve this, I drilled out all of the spot welds and removed what was 
left of the core support and Larry Atkisson welded in a replacement.  Perfect 
now, and no more radiator problems.
