Is that plastic? If it is it looks like the radiator filler between the upper core support and radiator?

I thought that is what it was, haha.
That aspect makes your PS belt appear out of align. I wish my engine was that pristine!

It does look out of alignment from that angle, but I think it is lined up. I will have to double check that the next time I am with the car, haha.
Lol! I'm sure it's just the angles that make it look that way but I know you're going to check it now anyway!

You know I am, it took all my energy to fight off my OCD reaction to drive over to the body shop to check it today, LOL.

- 71 conv,429cj, 4spd 3.5 N-case, it's not an original but the running gear is correct.
69 Fastback, it's a project.
Sure is looking good!
Does anyone know if this rad support seal was on the '73's also?
Thanks

My 73 Mach has it. I believe it was only used for factory AC cars to help move more air flow through the radiator. Lot more
people on here know much more than I do about that question.

I don't know for sure, but that tracks for my car, as it is a factory A/C car and it had it.
My 73 convertible, 351-2V has a narrower radiator. I did add one, nut I had to cut an inch off each end.
