My 65 289 Mustang has a good aluminum aftermarket radiator which works fine. However there is a wide gap between the top of the radiator and the radiator upper support. I am sure that a lot of hot air is being drawn in from the engine compartment and across the radiator. Is there any type of after market shroud that goes on top of the radiator to block off the gap. Any advise or recommendations will be appreciated.
Thanks

Doesn't 65 have a factory seal from Rad support to hood? Maybe its not covering what your after.
I'm not above making my own too.
