I am hoping someone can provide a quick clearance measurement. I have a 57 (55 grill) and VA condensor up front, and looking to see how much clearance between condensor and grill I can expect for a trans cooler in front. I would like to mount condensor mounting lips on the outside of the radiator support bracket, vice inside. That way I can run bolts through from outside to caged nuts on support. If I have to run mounting bolts fom inside, the heads will make contact with my aftermarket radiator. Anyone have a similar, VA and additional trans cooler set up?

Thanks much, Jim
