I'm needing some help putting the car back together. I had an engine fire that toasted the firewall. I have had it all redone and unfortunately the mechanic who had taken the car apart may have lost some of the parts so Im looking for some engine compartment pictures with the Chevy 350 in it. There is a metal engine/fan shroud at the front of the engine in the "void" area between the radiator and front of engine that I feel is necessary but is lost and need someone to remake it. Also I wanted to know the radiator size as that was misplaced as well. Thanks for any help for the Chevy AC's. Fords I love you too but this one is a Chevy.

I have a used radiator I can sell you off my Arntz. There was no fan shroud on mine. It had an electric fan, that I can also sell you if you want as I went a different way. If you PM me your email, I think I still have pics of the engine bay with the original 350 in it.

I have a VSE with Chevy. The rad is mounted with the top further forward I believe. I think I have some pics of it. I'll look and attach if any look useful. Looks like they are on my othher computer. Let me know if this sounds useful to you and I'll look in it tomorrow.

Joyridin' i might be interested in the radiator. where are you located? and I would love to see a compartment picture with it in it. The car just came out of paint and coming back home for the rebuild. I just have to gather the "missing" parts now. Is it a two core or three core radiator? Aluminum? Thanks. Im in Sacramento, CA.

T walgamuth - Yes a picture of the installed radiator/engine compartment would be great to see. Im afraid that the mounting hardware is also missing with the radiator. Anything will help. Thanks so much.

See attached pictures. The radiator is a 6 row, which I believe most Arntz Cobra's had. If you look at the picture, you will see tabs on the bottom of the radiator with a hole in it. On the front cross member, there is a plate on each side welded to the frame with a hole. This radiator just bolts to those plates and rests on the cross member. It sits straight up and down.

Well, the pictures will not upload. Never had a problem before, but maybe it is the new version of Firefox.
