Default Is my car straight?

I removed the fan shroud today, and I noticed that the engine isn't even with the radiator support. Is this right?







I also notice that the radiator is warped. The lower radiator shroud was broken where someone forced through the transmission cooler lines. What's going on?

Your car is straight, your core support is bent. Not a real issue, the core support is relatively weak, and I've seen a lot of B bodies with similar damage due to bumping something, or damage where the core support was pushed up from parking on top of something, and the radiator shroud is BARELY holding the radiator in on top.

I bet you could carefully bend it back.

Thanks! I'll take a look at it next weekend.
