1997 427 Camaro
It's a Griffin Radiator. It's 27.5 wide 15.5 high and 3" thick.
I cut the upper rad support so that I could get the rad in completely. I put a new lower rad support in to make the whole thing a little cleaner. Some have made use of the stock one.
Here's a link to where I got a bunch of info for upright radiators.

I have a smallblock in a 96 firebird with the same kmember as your using and still has the windshield wipers and everything. I wanted to use a carb scoop for like a blow through carb setup but didnt want to spend the hundred plus dollars on one and with hood clearance being such a issue I made one out of the throttle body scoop for a 2000 s10 blazer and it fits very well. I still have to make some sort of cold air induction for it without making something that looks retarded. I know that what I made will never fit a 4500 series carb but its just a suggestion. Maybe I will send some pics this afternoon of what I am talking about. By the way beautiful car.

Well I got it started last week and this engine shook the rafters. It sounds real good and it should be a strong runner.
We had a few problems as we were warming it up. The radiator, water pump and gas tank were all leaking.. the radiator and gas tank leaked because I had work done on them and the welders didn't do a great job. The water pumped leaked cause it was junk (used proform).Regardless, I got all that taken care of and everything is back in the car. I'm waitng on some Meziere fittings for the water pump before I can hook the cooling system back up.
I got the drive shaft ordered up yesterday and I should have it on Friday. Lucky for me Strange is only 40 minutes down the road. I'll have the shaft in the car the same day.
I finally got around to finishing the rear brake lines using Earl's pre-made lines and banjo fittings. All I need to do is locate new bleeders for the front calipers and I can fill the system and bleed it.
I got working on the shifter yesterday and I'll finish it the next time I work on the car. Things are really coming together fast and I'm hoping I'll get on the road before the first salt/snow.
I'll have some new pictures up over the weekend so stay tuned!!

Sorry I have not updated in a while but I've been bus getting this thing back together.
No new pics yet but I got the whole front clip assembled and the carb tuned tonight. I still have the new carpet and interior to put in but thats something I can do first thing this spring. I'm trying to iron out a few little gremlins but other than that it looks like this thing is ready to go.
I'll try and get some pics up on weds.

damn nice car!! Turning out REAL nice man, good job! Pretty similar to my build also, im gonna guess its a MWC 9"? And you did exactely what i wanna do with my gauge cluster for the speedo/tack/gas etc. Youll have to shoot me some tips on mounting that aluminum plate in there solid.

Mine may be more like your then you think. I've been throwing around the idea of adding a F1R Procharger. I'm going to hold of until the spring when I get some solid N/A numbers but that could be in the not so near future so stay tuned for that.
If you have any questions PM me and I'll try to help you out as much as I can.

Check out my bumper support!!!
Heres a shot of the rad and trans cooler
What do you think. Do I have the space for a Prochager?
Thats the latest guys. I got everything running and set now I just need to chase down a few small gremlins and then hopefully I can bring it home this weekend. Been over a year of work but it's finally about ready to come home.
Thanks for all the support guys. I am now counting down the days till spring!!!!
