Are the upper radiator support brackets the same from a 3 core to a 4 core radiator ??

Nope. They look the same, but 4-core brackets are 1/2-3/4inch longer (to account for thicker radiator).

Note, you have to change 4 brackets, (don't forget about the 2 at the bottom of the core support, these are rivited on).

I found this out the hard way. Spent 2 hours cutting and welding to extend my small brakets.
