punctured aluminum radiator fixable

[sbc10guy]

Hey guys i just finished breaking in my new motor in my truck. I rebuilt the old tired 454 to a 496 stroker. On the first test drive i put a hole in my brand new aluminum radiator. My fan hit my fan shroud bent towards the radiator and put 2 holes in it. it doesnt look that bad but it drained out fast. Its the same setup i ran with the old motor with no problem. It must be the torque of the new rebuild that shifted it that much to hit. Anyway is it really a good idea to try to fix it or am i looking at more problems than just buying another new one and changing my fan setup. I really hate to spend more after this engine rebuild but if i have to thats what will have to happen. Thanks.
