Default Need measurements now please?? very easy

Can someone measure this for me now? I would need you take off your radiator support top cover and pull the radiator towards the core support. Then measure the center of the radiator ( the very top the radiator) from the very top of the core support. I just need to know how high the radiator sits above the core support when its standing straight up.

thanks a lot

pulling it forward with no a/c in front of it, i get 2" from the top of the core to the top of the radiator. the radiator is sitting on the rubber seats on the bottom. you can only pull it forward so far though, because the radiator has some material on that that you'd have to grind away to try to get it to sit taller.

but if you look at the bottom support for the radiator, it's a flimsy piece of metal, you could easily drop that a little too.. don't know how it would impact ground clearance

i couldn't pull it all the way forward rob because of the air conditioning clips on the front of the radiator.

the clearance is 17" you should be able to measure the same (top of radiator bottom support to top of core support)

the radiator itself is 18 1/2" tall. -metal to metal, the end caps add a little more.
