Re: Wanted - Radiator Top Splasher

Evidence the radiator support was cut and welded back most likely(common) for an engine pull. re:Weld was not finished.
Maybe that has something to do with the "gap" your showing concern for?

Other than originality, I doubt that ~1" space has much affect on cooling, so must be something else going on here. Are the lower/other pans installed? Is the correct fan blade on? Maybe an issue with the radiator. I had no issue with mine idling in the drive for extended periods, ie, no flow from the grille.
The pan on my 2365 did not go over the rad support either, so suspect that's the norm, flow direction, not complate sealing.
Any of the other P parts places may provide. I'd have to research all the various part #'s to see if there's a valid cooling difference.

Check and see if there's a part number stamped on your current part and run that down against what you're after.
