Default Do you have pictures of a modified/tilted C5 radiator?

Looking for pictures, of how to "tilt" the bottom of tha radiator support FORWARD on my C5, to allow for a larger blower inlet pipe.

I really don't wanna lower it but, i'll take any pic's if you gottem. links, whatever. I've been searching the web for a while now.

Thanks.

What I have seen done is to go with a two core rad. and have the top two inches of core removed.
There was still no problem with cooling.

So basically, what your saying is to have a custom radiator made?

I don't have a problem with buying another radiator, other then having to spend more money....which I have already done way too much of.

Those top two are a LOT of scratch for a radiator!

Thats what I'm saying. I don't have the extra cash for ONE MORE thing to add to my car at the moment.... i'd like to just modify the beotch without having to wait another two weeks to buy more parts.

The tilting of the radiator sounds like a ringer to me.
