Can move radiator up but not 100% sure how much before it interferes with hood.
Apologies.. not meaning to highjack this thread.. just trying to get accurate info from craftsmen that already solved the problem recently.
Thanks
Well I think this is as simple as just sticking some cardboard on top of your radiator and seeing if/when the hood crushes the cardboard. A little trial and error and you should have your answer pretty quickly.

Personally, I think you should do what I did and relocate your radiator mounts to set the radiator further inward if there is space there. But drilling new holes to raise the rad is certainly faster, cheaper, and easier.
