1957 Corvette raidator in a 1954

[John M.]

I have a 1954 Corvette project, will a 1956 to 1961 raidator fit in the core support and if so will the fan shroud fit also Thanks in advance..........John

The 54 and 57 supports were the same, so the 57 radiator should fit into the 54 support. I do not know if the 54 fan shroud will work with the 57 radiator, but I expect it will.

The other problem may be the inlet/outlet configuration. I don't know if the inlet/outlet configuration for the 6 cylinder application is the same as for the 8 cylinder application. So, there might not be any molded radiator hoses that will fit.

John, my '55 has a '56 radiator in it everything bolts in fine. Our radiator supports are the same.
