Close out panel around hood latch

[422cuda]

trying to see if anyone knows of a company that makes a close out panel that blocks the gap between the radiator core support and the front header panel(the big openings on each side of the hood latch assembly). Trying to direct air straight to the radiator and help with cooling

Interesting idea, but I dont think there would be much benefit because the hood to core support seal should prevent air from going over the top anyway.

Maybe boxing in the bottom might help...

Are you having overheating problems?

I am having cooling issues! I didn't realize that there was a seal that was supposed to be there, I'll go ahead and buy one.

Thanks!

Make sure the lower radiator hose has a spring in it, the suction may collapse the hose when revving.. Also, make sure the fan clutch appears to be in good working order. When running, and up to temp, you should be able to feel some hot fluid flowing thru the upper hose; if not maybe you are low on coolant, or the radiator core is clogged.
